Getting the best out of automating the App Feedback action?

Hey everyone, I’ve been using the Request Application Feedback remote action in Hexnode manually whenever a user reports an issue with an Android Enterprise app. It’s a great tool for pulling logs and checking configuration states. However, I noticed we can actually automate this action using Hexnode's Automate tab. I’m trying to wrap my head around why I’d want to schedule this on a continuous loop.…

How are you all using remote app launch with automation?

We’ve recently started exploring automation around the remote app launch action and are eager to know how others are using it. We tried setting it up to open our onboarding app right after device enrollment. It walks users through setup steps and required configurations, which has reduced the need for manual IT assistance.

Anyone here actually using automate uninstall application action?

Hey all!  Quick question — we’ve been manually uninstalling apps from devices whenever they’re no longer needed. It’s manageable now, but starting to feel repetitive.  I saw there’s an option to automate Uninstall Application in Hexnode UEM.  Is this something people actually use regularly, or is it more of a niche thing?

Can apps be installed automatically?

Can we automate the "Scan Device" action?

Hey everyone! I’m managing a fleet of tablets for a delivery service, and I’ve noticed the battery and storage info on my dashboard is often days old unless I manually click "Scan Device" for each one. Is there a better way to keep this data fresh without me having to manually initiate scan all day?

How do I automate the Update OS Action?

We manage a fleet of corporate laptops and mobile devices across different regions. One challenge we keep facing is ensuring that devices stay on supported OS versions without relying on users to manually install updates.  Is there a way to automate OS updates so devices update themselves when needed? Also curious to know in what scenarios organizations typically automate…

Add ability to update or create apps with manifest paths

Hey team,   We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don't allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don't offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution.   Due to this restriction, it…
