Schedule an Automation Rule

Scheduled Workflows allow you to run Workflows on an ad-hoc basis, or on a daily, weekly and monthly cadence to connected devices.

This is useful if you want to schedule iOS updates, a process that reboots devices on a regular basis to fix minor issues, and much more.

Some things to consider:

Scheduled rules do not queue up if a device is in the middle of a deployment.
Not supported for Over the Air (OTA) Workflows; only connected devices are eligible.
Deployments are staggered to avoid deploying to all devices at once.

To configure a scheduled rule:

Navigate to the Automation tab and click New Rule.
In the Rule Name box, type a descriptive schedule name.
In the Optional Description box, type any notes or description.
Click Set a new schedule.
Using the On this date and At this time controls, set the date when your schedule should begin and the time.
From the Repeats list, specify how often the schedule repeats: Never, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Click Add an optional condition to apply additional conditions to the scheduled automation rule. For example, you can set a schedule to only upgrade devices on a specific version of iOS.
In the Deploy these workflows section, click Choose Workflow and select your Workflow. Click Save.
Click Enable Rule.
