Simplifying repetitive administrative tasks by using low-code solutions: An overview

This week my post is a few days later, as my post is an extension of the session of me and Pim Jacobs at the Nordic Virtual Summit Third Edition.

That’s an awesome combination for automating administrative tasks and triggering IT administrators to perform actions. The idea of this post is to show the power of that combination and to show the simplicity to automate administrative tasks. This post provides a simple example that will query status information about the Apple MDM push certificate in Microsoft Intune and posts that information in an adaptive card in a Microsoft Teams chat, when action is …
