BigFix Workflow Builder is now available! A new module in BigFix Lifecycle.
The BigFix Team is pleased to announce the availability of BigFix Workflow Builder, an intuitive, visual no-code automation offering built to design, sequence, and execute complex, multi-step endpoint management procedures across enterprise environments. Workflow Builder is a native feature of BigFix Lifecycle. It turns manual task sequences into repeatable, automated and governed workflows, so your team gets the power of BigFix with improved time-to-value. It is available to customers with active licensing with no additional third-party tool licenses required. Your existing BigFix interfaces keep working alongside it.

Visual drag-and-drop canvas: Chain common automation tasks into end-to-end workflows, including PowerShell, Batch, and BigFix Action Script snippets, plus decision logic.
-
Step Library: Standardize the most common admin tasks as reusable steps, so teams build on proven building blocks instead of starting from scratch.
Run it and see it happen :
-
Real-time execution tracking: Follow active workflows visually, with real-time status updates and progress monitoring across targeted endpoints.
-
Single-click or automated execution: Turn labor-intensive manual steps into one-click or automated workflows , shrinking maintenance windows from days to minutes.

Reduced operational risk: Reusable, standardized steps keep the most common admin tasks consistent.
