Automated Jamf Patch Management Reporting to Slack
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your Jamf patch management by automating the retrieval and reporting of software update status directly to Slack. Get real-time insights into your device patching without manual intervention.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring software patch statuses within your Jamf Pro environment. It begins by connecting to your Jamf cloud instance to fetch a list of all patch software titles. Subsequently, it allows you to filter this list to focus on specific software you're interested in tracking. For the filtered software, the workflow then retrieves detailed patch summary information, including the latest version, number of devices up-to-date, and those out-of-date. Finally, it formats this data into a user-friendly Slack message using Block Kit, providing actionable insights at a glance and posting it to a designated Slack channel.
