Launch Powershell Script when client back online
Is it possible to add the ability to run a script when a customer comes back online?

This would be extremely useful for managing devices that are frequently offline or only connect intermittently. In our environment, I often know exactly what remediation or diagnostic script needs to run, but the device is offline when I’m working the ticket.
It would be ideal to queue a PowerShell script against an offline agent and have Atera automatically run it one time the next time the device checks in, then report the result/output and clear the queued job after a successful run.
Right now, the technician has to keep checking for the device to come online and manually launch the script, which adds unnecessary delay and follow-up work.
An optional expiration time for queued jobs would also be helpful so stale remediation tasks do not run days or weeks later.

Would really love to see this functionality.

I feel this feature is crucial for script running, in an environment where patching is required it would make a world of sense that when a device comes back online it can autonomously run the scheduled script and complete the task.

This could be an automation profile where I could select certain computers to run a certain script once it finally comes back online
