Worklets – A Growing Library + Search Capabilities

To continue the tradition of writing poems about Worklets:

So much depends upon 

Worklet automation scripts 

Simple, reliant, strong

Captain of the cyber sea 

Streamlining tasks, 

Simplicity.


What is a Worklet Automation Script? 

A Worklet automation script is an easy way to automate just about any task – at scale. Worklets are PowerShell or Bash scripts that can be deployed on endpoints through the Automox Agent. Need to install software? Uninstall software? Remotely wipe a computer? Worklet automation scripts are smart, plug-and-play, and here for you. 

Automox has a catalog of over 330 Worklets (each verified by our engineers). Need one that does something else? You can write your own, or utilize our easy-to-use Worklet Development Kit.  

Introducing Enhanced Worklet Catalog Search Functionality!

We're dedicated to continually enhancing your Worklet experience at Automox and are happy to announce new enhancements to our Worklet Catalog search functionality making the Worklet you need now easier to find. Search Worklets by description, keywords, and OS family. To learn more, click here.
