We’re excited to introduce the Deploy Intent action for Android devices!

Wondering what an intent is?

Think of it as a message you send to your app or system, telling it exactly what you want it to do, like opening a new screen, starting a background task, or even sending notifications to other apps. These intents help route actions between components within an app and across different apps, making everything run smoothly behind the scenes!

With Hexnode’s Deploy Intent action, IT admins now have the ability to remotely send custom intents to managed Android devices, instantly! Just choose your intent type (implicit or explicit), select the app component (activity, service, or broadcast), fill in parameters such as action, class, data URI, data type, category, or configure extras and boom — you’re in control. Wondering what these options mean? Dive into our help documentation on Deploy Intent – we’ve got you covered!

Just a heads-up: the app you’re targeting with the intent needs to be installed on the device for it to work.

Still thinking it over? Let us help! Drop a comment below or shoot us an email at support@hexnode.com.
