automatic tickets for uncompliant Macs

[Jonas_]

Hello together,

I am currently looking for a solution to automatically create tickets when a device becomes uncompliant. We check the compliants with JAMF.
I can have emails sent automatically with Smart Groups, but only to my user.
Would I have to create a service user for this or is there another way?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Jonas

its kinda a JAMFism.. and im sure there are better ways.. but yes.. create a user for 'compliance', give them minimal privs, edit smart groups, read computers, with a dedicated email, log into jamf with this.. setup the account for smart group alerts, then enable the smart group to send emails. Route these emails via Helpdesk etc. 

This topic has been around for 'a long time', this works, but feels clunky in 2024..

Hi @Jonas_ 

you could also set up Webhooks for the "SmartGroupMembershipChange" for the "Compliance-SmartGroup". You would then be able to receive notifications via Teams for example.

Many ticketing systems like Service Now have API connections for Jamf. You establish the API connection, and inventory import from Jamf. Then set the workflow in the ticketing system to generate a ticket if the device meets certain conditions. This is less a Jamf thing and more of a ticketing system thing.
