Hey everyone, I’m setting up a Location Compliance policy and want to run it using the Automations. I noticed that the Run Now button is always greyed out. I was hoping to use it to trigger a faster check instead of waiting for the next scan cycle.

Is there something I’m missing? How do I make Run Now clickable so I can test automation instantly?

Hey Riley, Yeah, the Run Now button is a bit confusing. It only becomes active when the automation has pending actions or matching conditions that can be processed immediately. If nothing qualifies for execution in that moment, the button stays disabled.

For quick testing, what I usually do is:

  • Create a second automation with simpler or instantly true conditions, or
  • Go to Manage → Actions → Initiate Automation for the target device.

Both work when you want that “instant effect” feel during demos.
