Update Roles by Excel
This workflow automates the processing of Excel files to achieve batch updates of user roles in the Zammad system. Users simply need to upload an Excel file containing email addresses and role IDs, and the system will automatically download, parse, and match the corresponding users to complete the role updates. This process eliminates cumbersome manual operations, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of permission management, making it suitable for scenarios where IT administrators and human resources departments need to quickly adjust user permissions.

Update Roles by Excel
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the bulk updating of user roles in the Zammad system via an Excel file. Users only need to prepare an Excel file containing user email addresses and corresponding role IDs. The workflow will automatically download and parse the file, match the users in Zammad, and update their roles accordingly. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of bulk permission management.
Core Problem Addressed
Traditional user role management often requires manual updates one by one within the system, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. This workflow solves the challenge of bulk updating multiple user roles by centrally managing role data through an Excel spreadsheet and automatically synchronizing it with the Zammad user system, thereby eliminating the complexity and risks associated with manual operations.
Use Cases
- Enterprise IT administrators bulk updating user permissions in customer service or internal support systems
- Human resources departments quickly adjusting employee permissions based on Excel lists
- Any scenario requiring bulk maintenance of Zammad user roles based on tabular data
Main Workflow Steps
- Manually trigger the workflow execution
- Set basic variables, including the Zammad system API endpoint and the Excel file download URL
- Download the Excel file via an HTTP request
- Extract user emails and role information from the Excel file
- Generate unified user-role object data
- Search for corresponding users in the Zammad system by email
- Merge Excel data with system data to match user information
- Call the Zammad API to bulk update user role information
Involved Systems or Services
- Zammad (open-source customer support system) API

By automating the integration of Excel data with the Zammad system, this workflow enables efficient and accurate bulk updates of user roles, making it an ideal solution for enhancing permission management efficiency.
Steam + CF Report
This workflow receives domain query requests via Webhook, automatically verifies the domain format and DNS records, checks whether it is using Cloudflare services, and promptly sends alert emails to the Cloudflare and Steam security teams based on the results. It integrates command-line tools for domain resolution, ensuring data accuracy and logical rigor, effectively assisting the cybersecurity team in quickly identifying and reporting potential phishing websites, enhancing the response efficiency to phishing threats, and protecting user asset security.
Syncro to Clockify
This workflow automatically receives work order data from the Syncro system and synchronizes it in real-time with the Clockify time management platform, generating corresponding time entries. By streamlining data integration, it avoids the tediousness and errors of manual entry, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of work order time tracking. It is suitable for IT services, customer support, and project management teams, helping to enhance work efficiency and data consistency while optimizing operational processes.
Receive Updates When a New List Is Created in Affinity
This workflow listens for events related to newly created lists in the Affinity system, receiving update notifications in real-time. Users do not need to check manually, as they are immediately informed when a new list is created, significantly enhancing information synchronization efficiency. It is suitable for sales teams and customer managers, helping them to quickly respond to market changes and ensuring that the team is always up to date with the latest data dynamics, thereby reducing the risks associated with business delays and information lags.
OIDC Client Workflow
This workflow implements an automated client authentication process based on the OpenID Connect protocol, supporting the PKCE mechanism to enhance security. Users trigger the login through a Webhook, automatically completing the authorization code retrieval, access token exchange, and user information request, ultimately returning a personalized welcome page. This process is suitable for web applications or APIs that require third-party identity providers for single sign-on, ensuring that only successfully authenticated users can access protected content, thereby enhancing system security and user experience.
Automated FTP File Upload and Directory Listing Process
This workflow automates the FTP file upload and directory management process. After being manually triggered by the user, the system automatically downloads files from a specified URL and uploads them to a designated directory on the FTP server. Once the upload is complete, the system lists all the files in the FTP directory, ensuring that users can monitor the file status in real-time. This process simplifies file transfer operations, reduces human error, and improves work efficiency, making it suitable for operations personnel and development teams that need to regularly update and manage FTP files.
Monitor_security_advisories
This workflow automates the collection, filtering, and notification of security announcements. It regularly retrieves the latest security bulletins from Palo Alto Networks and intelligently filters information relevant to the organization's key products. By automatically creating tickets in Jira, it ensures that the security team can follow up in a timely manner. Additionally, important announcements are sent to relevant personnel via Gmail, enhancing the efficiency of information dissemination. This helps the organization establish an effective security risk management system, reduces the burden of manual monitoring, and accelerates response times.
Create a Channel, Invite Users to the Channel, Post a Message, and Upload a File
This workflow automates the creation of Slack channels, user invitations, sending welcome messages, and uploading files, significantly enhancing team collaboration efficiency. With a one-click trigger, users can quickly set up a communication environment, reducing time wasted and the risk of errors associated with manual operations. It is suitable for scenarios such as project initiation, onboarding new members, and file sharing, helping businesses optimize their internal communication processes.
URL Pinger
This workflow is designed to automatically check the status of multiple URLs at regular intervals, triggering every 15 minutes to send HTTP requests for monitoring link availability and response status. It supports continuous operation and is fault-tolerant, ensuring that the overall process is not interrupted even if individual requests fail. This feature is particularly suitable for website administrators, operations personnel, and content managers, helping them efficiently monitor website status, promptly identify issues, and enhance maintenance efficiency and service stability.
