Network automations let you SSH into a device through a ProxyLink tunnel and run commands automatically, based on a trigger.

​
Use cases

  • Run a command when a tunnel goes offline
  • Run show vlan on a Cisco switch when it reconnects after a power outage
  • Scheduled config backup every night
  • Trigger a script from your RMM via webhook

​
Supported triggers

TriggerWhen it fires
On reconnectWhen the device’s WireGuard tunnel reconnects
On tunnel offlineWhen the device’s WireGuard tunnel loses its handshake
ScheduledAt a specific time (cron-style)
ManualClick “Run” from the automation list
WebhookAn external system (NinjaRMM, Zabbix, Grafana) calls a URL

​
Cisco IOS support

Automations support Cisco enable mode. Set an enable_password on the device connection to escalate privileges before running commands. Confirmed working: Cisco Catalyst WS-C3750G — show vlan via automation.

​
Output and alerting

Automation output is stored and viewable in the dashboard. Configure an alert channel to receive the output via Slack, Teams, or webhook when an automation fires.
