Workflows

I have a Macbook and a windows laptop that are both starting the workflow that is started with the trigger "System Back Online". Building a virtual test machine to re-build our onboarding (we are in migration to Pulseway), the workflow is not started on this virtual machine. Computers are all in the same organization\group. Only diff is physical vs virtual. Could that be an issue? Any other pointers/reasons to check maybe? Thx

Hello, I am trying to run a workflow to automatically install an application via Workflows -> Create from Template -> Deploy Application From EXE File. I have replaced the "Get URL" Workflow with "Write File" to download from the Managed Files storage area as described in the template. However, when running the workflow it fails at the process of installation. When I check the workflow history I see the following error: Timeout to respond with EXECUTE_FILE for 62bfb72f-9bff-433c-ba9a-426f17d5721a Whenever I try this with another file (Notepad++), also stored in the Managed Files storage area, it works like a charm. Any ideas? Thanks in advance…

Hi Guys, I've cobbled together a workflow using Powershell that looks at membership of the local Administrators group and that output is emailed to me. That's gone without issue but I want to refine it and that's where I'm struggling. So I know that in our case, every machine's local admin group has some membership, i.e. the local admin account and our domain admins group. I want to filter these machines out and have email results for only those where there's anything more than those "defaults". Get-LocalGroupMember -Group 'Administrators' | Where-Object {$_.PrincipalSource -ne 'Local' -and $_.Name -ne 'MyDomain\Administrator' -and $_.Name -ne 'M…

I was wondering if there was a way to put together a script/workflow that would log a user out of a Windows remote desktop environment after a certain amount of inactivity Been looking around, but can't seem to find any examples - which a bit of a surprise to be honest.... Thanks!

I'm trying to create an Ad-hoc workflow and every time I choose Scope as the context and click 'save' it changes the context to 'All Systems' regardless of what I actually chose. Is there something I'm not understanding about workflow context or is this a bug?

How to make a scheduled workflow for deleting devices that haven't connected for a certain defined time? Is this possible to start with?

Is there any way to do this because i can't figure out a simple way to do it and was wondering if anyone else knew or does this or if im just missing something.

Was the Execute Workflow action moved / removed in the 9.4 update? It appears if I copy or modify an existing execute workflow action it still functions as expected, but I am not seeing it in the action pane.

We have a big workflow for onboarding computers into our system. We want to install some applications and we use our own scripting for this. In this script we download some files from our own server to the script and install the application. When the script is run standalone it works fine and takes some time. In the workflow it does run and finish installing the app however, the workflow says the following: "Agent failed to report the script execution status in the allocated time". Is it possible to change this allocated time or is there a more efficient way of installing applications.

If I configure Pulseway to receive a notification in the event of a pending reboot, I'd like to be able to launch a script. I'm looking in Workflow, but I can't find the trigger in Triggers.

Hi. im trying to execute file and run a shell on a workflow but nothing happens. even tried a simple "New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path C:\Path\To\New\Folder" shell command but no folder is created as system or logged in user, and no logs to see what or why. Is anyone else having luck with this?

We leverage several scheduled workflows to automate parts of our maintenance cycles. However we have noticed that when a workflow calls a 'Run Task' item it tries to run the task in the scope of the workflow rather than the scope assigned to the task itself. We resorted to tasks as a method of handling multiple scopes because workflows invoked from a scheduled workflow also run in the context of the calling scheduled workflow rather that its assigned scope. Please advise.

I want to establish a workflow to monitor high CPU utilization on servers and workstations. I am able to create the workflow for CPU utilization > 90%. However, If a server gets over 90% utilization, I don't want it to immediately fire off a Pulseway ticket to us. I would like the workflow to recognize a server has been above 90% CPU utilization for x amount of minutes. Is this possible? If not, is there a default timer for things like high CPU utilization, high memory utilization, etc.? Thoughts?

Hi Pulseway experts, I'm Ryan and a happy user of Pulseway, but kind of a starter with probably a little issue which I cannot solve. Could someone help me with the following case? I provide customers with proactive automation on their devices and there is a issue which after a lot troubleshooting I still cannot fix. I run a policy which monitors daily statuses that check every single process and services. I got this issue ''The antivirus Windows Defender has been disabled on computer ...... in group ...... ''. The service stops daily and I made a workflow to start is again and also tried a workflow which restart the service, but in both cases the windows defende…

I read on the Workflow for Time Sensitive section that the Idle timer is not compatible with the Time Sensitive category, but we're trying to create a workflow that sends a notification once a ticket has been unassigned for over an hour. Is this possible with PSA at this point?

Hi there, I've been looking all over and I can't find what are these "Action Parameters" in the "Condition": Can someone explain how do these options work, please?

I am trying to setup a workflow that will notify me once a server is down. I know how to configure this part but my question is how can I delay the alert so I'm not getting alerts from a server rebooting from patching. If the server is down for more then 5 minutes, then alert me. Guidance is appreciated.

Trying to create workflow that assigns patch management policy if client is on a workstation. Here is what I got so far.

So, I have been using the workflow automation to much sucess. I have one activating script upon logon. It used to work wonderfully even though every time it ran it reported "Failed" in workflow status. It seems that my PowerShell scripts hang up the workflow. These two scripts write back to custom variables on each machine when they run. I just tested and it does not seem to matter whether the custom variable code snippet is in the script or not. It is not possible to successfully run a workflow with any steps after a PowerShell script currently. Does anyone have any way to fix this, I tried adding "exit" at the end and that didn't help…

Hi folks, I am seeing this trigger, System Registered, in the Automation > Workflows area. I'm imagining this trigger combined with the organization condition value can easily automate a series of actions to perform onboarding computers automatically. In testing, this works fabulously. However, it seems Pulseway RMM only allows one active workflow to use the 'System Registered' trigger. Understandable. I suppose I could use a single Workflow that uses the 'System Registered' trigger that cascades through all my clients. i.e. Organization Condition=ABC Customer: true/false > a false answer cascades to a new Organization Condition=XYZ Customer: true/false, …

Hello, we have created a workflow, it is active and has a maximum execution time of one hour. This workflow, should be executed every time a user logs in to the system. For this purpose, a simple script is executed, which adds the respective username to the computer name. However, we notice that this does not work. The usernames are not updated, and I have to run the script manually as a task. Am I using the wrong trigger here?

tldr: I have an endpoint policy to trigger a workflow from an event log I have it set to notify on low, is there a way to have the low notification auto deleted as the workflow that triggers sends an elevated alert for workstations with 5 or more days uptime

Hi. I like to work extensively with tags and would like to set them automatically. Probably I have not understood the principle? Or when are the workflows executed? Am I too impatient? And... --> Endpoint Policies --> muss ich den Dienst hier überwachen lassen? Oder geschieht das automatisch? Where is my error? Or so... I can't get it to work!
