Automatically generate a daily report on device compliance from Intune and deliver it to Slack using this pre-built template from Torq.

When credentials are requested by a Slack command Torq adds users to a JumpCloud user group. When the time limit for access has expired, the user's permissions will automatically be revoked - closing security gaps.

This workflow uses the Torq chatbot to check URLs on request, then add to a global blocklist in Zscaler if needed.

Automate the "offboarding" process for dormant contractor accounts with this workflow template. Set the workflow to run daily, weekly, or at any interval you require.
