We’ve added a new Automated actions experience to geofencing so you can define what should happen when devices enter or leave a geofenced area.

What’s new

• New “Automated actions” step in the Create Geofence flow

  • Appears after the geofence definition steps.

  • Includes a read‑only “Geofence context” panel that shows which locations and devices/device groups the geofence applies to.

• Configurable post‑actions per geofence

  • Add, edit, and delete actions in an Actions list:

    • Notification

    • Lock device

  • Actions are only available when the geofence targets at least one device or device group.

• Default notification, old trigger removed

  • The old “Notification trigger” checkbox has been removed from the Basic configuration step.

  • New geofences now include a default Notification automated action in the Automated actions step, which you can modify or remove.

• Action‑level trigger events

  • Trigger events are configured per action (not at geofence level):

    • Notification: On Entry, On Exit, or On Entry & Exit

    • Lock device: On Entry or On Exit (no combined entry & exit option)

  • You can have only one Notification action per geofence.

  • You can have at most two actions total per geofence (one Notification + one Lock device); once both exist, the Add action button is disabled.

• Add / Edit Action modal

  • A new Add action button opens a modal to configure:

    • Action type (Notification or Lock device)

    • Trigger event

    • Any action‑specific fields (e.g., lock message)

  • The same modal is used for editing existing actions (fields are pre‑populated).

  • Policy assignment has been moved out and is tracked separately (ST‑6965), so it does not appear as an action type.

• Review & View experiences

  • The Create Geofence Review step now includes an Automated actions section summarizing each action (type, trigger event, key details) in a read‑only view.

  • The View Geofence side panel has been extended to show an Automated actions summary, matching existing panel patterns. This view is read‑only—no add/edit/delete from here.

Platform support

• Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux devices, aligned with your existing geofencing and device lock capabilities.
