Modern Automation with Shortcuts and Jamf Actions

At last year’s X World, using Shortcuts for device management workflows was still the personal crusade of one wild-eyed local admin. WWDC 23 changed all that, with Configurator integration and Apple calling for MDM vendors to get on board. Jamf are the first to heed Apple’s call with the Jamf Actions app, giving admins with the ability to work with Jamf Pro securely and providing all-new ways to automate device management. This session will cover the Jamf Actions app, how easily it can be combined with other Shortcuts Actions, and demonstrate both simple and advanced Shortcuts that will save admins time and effort.
