[Intro] What is Workflow on AirDroid Business?

Modified on Thu, 31 Oct at 1:40 PM

The Workflow is now implemented with Geofence and Alert so that it can help you automatically execute different actions, while your device triggers the above conditions. For example, you can set up Group Transfer and assign certain policy restrictions to a specific group when your device is triggered by Geofence. Or you can schedule a specific time to turn off your device screen in order to increase your device screen lifespan.

  • Device Reboot: This action can help you reboot your device automatically when the workflow is triggered.
  • Device Screen Off: This action can help you automatically turn off your device screen when the workflow is triggered.
    Note: It will only dim your device if you do not set any types of lockscreens, such as Pattern, PIN or password.
  • Reset factory data: This action can help you reset your device into factory settings.
    Note: If you select this option, it means you are not able to manage your devices. Since you factory reset the device, the device you enrolled in the Admin Console will remain offline. To rebind the device, please manually re-enroll the device.
  • Switch to Config File: This action can help you switch the Policy or Kiosk config from one to another when the workflow is triggered.
    Note: When the device is switched into another Policy or Kiosk config, please check the alert or geofence log to confirm which config file is currently in use.
  • Notification: This action can send a customized message to notify specific users on the device or enforce them to read your message.
  • Group Transfer: This action can transfer your devices into another group when the workflow is triggered.
  • Launch the app in the foreground: Allow the app to run in the foreground when the workflow is triggered.
  • Clear App Data and Cache: Clear the data and cache of the pre-set app when the workflow is triggered.
  • Power off: Power off the devices when the workflow is triggered.
