This n8n workflow automates the process of retrieving and summarizing software patch statuses from Jamf Pro, a popular Apple device management platform. It streamlines the collection, filtering, formatting, and distribution of patch management data, making it easier to monitor and act on software update compliance.

The workflow begins with a manual trigger, allowing users to initiate the process on demand. It prompts users to input relevant data such as software titles or IDs and configures the Jamf server URL dynamically. The first step fetches all available software patch configurations from Jamf via an API request.

Next, the workflow filters the list of software based on specific IDs or criteria specified by the user, focusing only on the tracked software. It then retrieves detailed patch summaries for the selected software, providing insightful data such as latest versions, update status, and related URLs.

The retrieved data is then mapped into a structured format suitable for Slack Block Kit, allowing easy visualization of patch statuses in a Slack message. Using code nodes, the workflow formats the patch status details into a clear and concise Slack message with headers, sections, and dividers for readability.

Finally, the formatted message is posted to a designated Slack channel, enabling teams to stay informed about patch compliance effortlessly. This workflow is practical for IT and systems administrators who want to automate reporting of software patch statuses and ensure timely updates across their managed devices.

Overall, this automation saves time, reduces manual effort, and enhances visibility into device management health from Jamf.
