Alerting feature request

[Aquatoes]

It would be nice to setup alerts based on policy assignment. Example Device "XXX-XXX" on the network was assigned Group Policy "Policy 1"

This was we could monitor when new devices connect for the first time and are applied the generic policy.

If you haven't done so already, you might Give your feedback (previously Make a Wish) and layout the use case for your request and how it'd benefit you/your organization.

I could see where that might be useful in a small environment but  devices with private mac might cause problems.

Invert your logic - and you have that already.

Assign every device on your network a policy like "checked".  Anything that turns up without that policy has not been checked and is new.

[Aquatoes]

That’s essentially what we do now. But I want to receive actual live email alerts when new “non checked” devices connect. I just want to be more prowctive than waiting for clients to call us to approve / flag devices as checked.

The only other option I can think of is to create either an API script or an Automation that runs every "x" hours and notifies you of any client without a policy assigned.

You would use a "Schedule" workflow.

If I were doing it, I think I would have it use a WebHook and send the notification to a Microsoft Teams channel.
