But we didn’t stop there. Did you know that Jamf Pro provides not one but two APIs? Compared to the Classic API, the newer Jamf Pro API provides a more modern approach to interface with Jamf Pro, offering new features and exclusive API endpoints as Jamf Pro gets updated over time. That’s why our team worked hard to release a new Okta Workflows connector for the Jamf Pro API, giving our customers even more automation capabilities!
So what exactly can you achieve with our API connectors?
Here are a few Apple device management scenarios that are possible using Okta Workflows:
