Automation | Scripting

Automation and scripting are essential tools for enhancing efficiency and productivity. They streamline processes, reduce the potential for errors, and free up valuable time and resources that would otherwise be spent on repetitive and mundane tasks.

N-central offers a range of automation and scripting features including:

AI Assisted Scripting

AI-Assisted Scripting uses ChatGPT to co-author scripts directly in the Dashboard, making it easy to add them to your script repository. This approach offers several benefits, including increased speed and efficiency, simplified scripting for beginners, reduced errors, and enhanced script quality. It supports multiple programming languages, such as Windows Batch, VBScript, and PowerShell. Additionally, ChatGPT can generate comments alongside the script code upon request, helping you understand each stage of the script.

Automation

Automation helps you streamline and eliminate the repetitive tasks you perform across your customer base, including onboarding, ticket management, proactive and reactive maintenance, and business reporting. Our Automation Manager script builder features an intuitive “drag and drop” interface, making it easy for users of all levels of scripting experience to design scripts for repeatable processes. Bundle these everyday tasks into a “policy,” schedule it, and keep your customers informed with detailed status reports.

Scheduled Tasks

Scheduled Tasks allow you to configure specific maintenance functions and tasks to run either once or on a recurring basis, across all administrative levels. By setting these tasks on a schedule, you eliminate the need to remember to do them. You can execute scheduled tasks across multiple customers or sites and use filters to effectively target specific devices.

Script Software Repository

Create custom scripts to perform routine tasks on your customers' devices or data retrieval tasks from our API, then upload the scripts to the Script Software Repository for use in scheduled tasks. The repository supports various script types, including Automation Manager policies, file transfer packages, Windows and macOS scripts, and third-party software packages.
