We are using Jamf Connect for our Macbooks and during provisioning, there is a way to make it call DEPNotify without a user logging in.
We can't use Jamf Connect on our labs because we could not make it work the way we wanted to with Google as the authentication source. So we're stuck with NoMAD for now, which is fine but I wanted to be able to run DEPNotify similar to how Jamf Connect does it (without a user logging in). Anyone have suggestions how we can achieve the same?
DEPNotify is pretty much abandoned at this time. You would better served by looking at a modern solution. I would recommend Swift Dialog:

Version 2.5 added the option to run at the login window:

Being "stuck" with NoMad is not fine. This is a credentials broker that has fully EOL and has not been patched in 9 months, your users are literally passing credentials insecurely and advertising it on a public form like Jamf Nation for malicuous actors. You should consider any install of NoMad to be a critical vulnerability that should be remediated immediately.

We have Google set as our authentication method in Jamf connect. Works just fine. We had an onboarding session, during which it was all setup for us. Just needed one of our Google super admins and myself as a Jamf admin to be on the call.
Our set up has some small changes from the normal Google setup, but for a standard set up there is documentation out there for setting it up.
On our Lab Macs, we see the normal Google login window, just like on ChromeBooks. The students fill in their email address and it takes them through the process of logging in.
