Product Updates

You can now customize which devices are synced from Mosyle by whitelisting one or more Mosyle device tags to sync. This is a powerful way to unlock some advanced scenarios with our Mosyle integrations.

To sync a subset of devices, visit your Mosyle integration page in Settings > Integrations > Mosyle Fuse and Mosyle Business or Mosyle OneK12 and Mosyle Manager. Scroll to the bottom of the Setup section to find a new Mosyle Tags section.

Here you can add one or more tags, which will limit your sync to only devices with any of the tags applied in Mosyle.

There are many scenarios where limiting which devices sync is useful, but two examples we see often are:

1. You are an MSP or manage device inventory for multiple companies or departments, and you would like to sync each company’s or department’s devices to a separate Assetbots database.
2. You are a school or district and would like to sync each school’s devices to a different database or would like to limit syncing to only e.g. student devices.

We hope this update improves your experience integrating Mosyle and Assetbots. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to open a ticket in your Assetbots dashboard.

Happy tracking!

A new Bot automation action is available in your Assetbots account!

The Re-Tag Assets action allows you to re-generate the asset tag for one or more of your assets in response to an event, automatically.

This action makes it easier than ever to accomplish some powerful workflows. Here are two examples:

1. Update Tag IDs When Moving to a New Category

As mentioned in our previous update, you can now move your assets to a specific category after syncing them from an MDM or other integration. Now you can also re-tag those assets so that their tag format matches their new category:

2. Bulk Update Tag IDs

Sometimes you want to bulk-update your tag IDs. This could be due to your desired format changing, or because your IDs reflect some ephemeral value like the current year, or any other reason.

This new action lets you easily perform this bulk-update in multiple ways, but one neat one is by applying a label. In the example below, we’ve created a label called Re-Tag and then built a Bot that re-tags assets when the label is applied. The bot them automatically removes the label, so no further action is necessary!

If you have any questions about this or any other Bot automation action, please open a ticket in your account dashboard and our team will be happy to help.

Multiple improvements to our Bot automations have been released, making it possible to automate more of your workflows and simplify asset management for you and your team.

New Action: Set Field

A new action type has been added that allows you to set any field on any record to a specific value in response to an event.

This action is extremely powerful, especially when combined with a sync integration like Mosyle, Intune or Kandji.

For example, it is common to want to categorize your assets differently in Assetbots than in your MDM. In Assetbots, you may have categories like 💻 Laptops, 📱 Tablets, and 🖥️ Workstations, but your MDM doesn’t have any matching source data. Now, you can automatically set the category on your synced assets based on any custom criteria you choose.

In the example above, we default all devices synced from Mosyle into a custom 🛜 Mosyle category. In our bot, we move any device created in the 🛜 Mosyle category that is a Mac but not an iMac into the 💻 Laptops category. You can easily create additional Bot automations for your 📱 Tablets and 🖥️ Workstations categories.

New Trigger: Created or Edited

You can now create a single Bot automation to react to either Created or Edited triggers, rather than having to create one for Created and one for Edited.

This is useful in combination with an action such as Sync Fields where you want to keep two fields in sync, either in the same record or across records.

Sync Fields Action Improvement

You can now sync a record to itself using our Sync Fields action. Previously, you could only sync a field to a related record, not to the same record the field is sourced from.

This update is useful to sync data from an integration into more than one field. For example, you may want to sync a person’s Email to both their Email field and to a custom Username field.

We’re excited about the new workflows these Bot automation enhancements will unlock for you. If you need any help or have any questions, please open a ticket with our team in your account dashboard.

Customers using the Assetbots API can now find records more easily using our new filtering support.

Our API has always supported list operations, for finding all records in your database, as well as get operations, for getting specific records by ID. What has been missing until now is filtering list operations, which allow you to get specific records by fields other than their ID.

A common request from customers has been to get an asset by its serial number, or to get a person by their email address. These operations are now possible with this enhancement.

Filtering in the Assetbots API is based on the OData filter options, and while we do not support the complete specification, we support the most common use cases.

To get started, make sure you have generated an API key for your database. To do so, visit Settings > API Keys. You can use our interactive documentation to experiment with your queries as you follow along.

Filters are defined in the $filter query parameter. To construct a filter, you create clauses based on field keys, which are unique to your database. For example, if you have a Text field called Serial Number with key serialNumber, you can find records with Serial Number equal to 123456 with the following filter:

serialNumber eq 123456

Adding this to the query string, the full URL becomes:

https://api.assetbots.com/v1/assets?%24filter=serialNumber%20eq%20123456

You can combine multiple clauses using and and or, and you can use any one of the following comparison operators:

• eq (equal)
• gt (greater-than)
• ge (greater-than-or-equal)
• lt (less-than)
• le (less-than-or-equal)
• nq (not-equal)

Finally, you can use paths if you would like to filter on a nested value. For example, if you would like to find all assets that cost more than $2,500 and you have a Money field with the key cost, you would use:

cost.amount gt 250000

Note in the filter above that we use 250000 instead of 2500. That is because USD is a currency with a scale of 2. You can query your database to see how the currency you use is stored by Assetbots if you’re not using USD.

Filtering is available today in the Assetbots API and can be used with assets, people, and locations.

We hope this enhancement makes working with our API much easier for your organization. If you need any help or have any questions, please open a ticket with our team in your account dashboard.
