Key feature enhancements

Outbound Email: migration to modern M365 authentication flow (OAuth)

This release enhances the security of Microsoft Office 365 SMTP integration for outbound emails by replacing the legacy username/password authentication with OAuth authorization code flow. The update eliminates the need to store user credentials and aligns with Microsoft’s planned deprecation of basic authentication, ensuring continued email delivery and compliance.

IMPORTANT: Migration to this new authentication method should be completed prior to Microsoft’s depreciation of basic authentication to ensure continued functionality of outbound emails from Pulseway. At the time of writing, depreciation is expected to start on December 31st 2026. Check here for up to date details.

Key improvements:

When configuring OAuth service settings for your outbound emails, a username and password are no longer needed. The new OAuth setup will require only the Application Id, Directory Id, and Client Secret:

  • Existing configurations using the old method remain active until reconfigured; a persistent banner will prompt Admin users to migrate. The banner reappears on each login if dismissed without migration.

  • If there is an issue refreshing the SMTP OAuth access token, the banner will notify Admin users.

Monitoring: Hardware monitoring driver migration

This release replaces a legacy hardware monitoring driver in the Windows Agent, improving the accuracy, security, and maintainability of hardware monitoring. The update ensures continuity of functionality during the transition period, with clear identification of deprecated parameters.

  • A new hardware monitoring library has been integrated into the Windows Agent starting with version 9.25.

  • When editing hardware notification settings from the Pulseway Agent Manager, dropdowns display parameters from both the new and legacy library; legacy parameters are labeled as (Deprecated).

  • For agents updated to 9.25 or later that do not have previously configured hardware notifications, deprecated parameters are no longer available for selection.

IMPORTANT: The legacy driver will be removed from the product in the next release (9.26). To ensure continued operation of hardware monitors, depreciated parameters should be removed and replaced no later than March 26th, 2026.

Remote Control on Demand for macOS devices

You will now be able to utilize our Remote Control on Demand (RCoD) feature to provide secure, temporary remote support to users on “unmanaged” macOS devices; no Pulseway agent or admin privileges required. We have also added support for technicians using macOS devices to initiate RCoD sessions with Windows or macOS end users. This enhancement ensures seamless support across both Windows and macOS platforms, expanding your ability to resolve issues quickly for all users.

RCoD now supports all of the following scenarios (technician > end user):

  • Windows > Windows

  • Windows > macOS (new)

  • macOS > Windows (new)

  • macOS > macOS (new)

This update adds the following RCoD functionality for remotely connecting to macOS devices:

  • Technicians using macOS can now generate RCoD sessions and share with end users.

  • When clicking on a RCoD session link, end users will now have the option to select Windows or macOS when downloading the installer file.

  • End users on macOS can download the RCoD installer and run it to grant remote access to their device, no admin access required.

Automation: Manage Automation Hub folder permissions from the Teams and Users page.

Administrators can now manage Automation Hub folder permissions, initially introduced in the 9.24 release, from the team context, making it easier to control access for your individual teams. A new tab in the team properties displays all Automation Hub folders in a tree view, allowing administrators to view and change the team’s permissions for each folder.

Key improvements:

A new Content tab has been added for user-defined teams on the Teams and Users page:

  • The Content tab is visible for all teams, regardless of Automation permissions; a message will display that outlines the permissions required for access to the Automation Hub.

  • The Content tab will display all Automation Hub folders in a folder tree.

  • The folder tree displays all Automation Hub folders, showing effective permissions as Shared (Default), Not Shared (Default), Shared (Inherited), or Not Shared (Inherited) based on RBAC settings.

  • Administrators can explicitly set or change access for each folder directly from this tab, which will apply to all users belonging to the selected team.

  • Audit logging for these changes is not included in this release but is planned for a future update.

Automation: Cancel scheduled and ad-hoc workflows.

You can now cancel in-progress and pending ad-hoc or scheduled workflows directly from the web application. This enhancement gives administrators and technicians greater control over automation, allowing them to stop workflows before or during execution across one or more devices. All workflow cancellation events are logged for auditing, including details about the user, device, workflow name, and timestamp.

Key improvements:

  • Workflow cancellation is available on the renamed Workflow Activity page (formerly Workflow History) for ad-hoc and scheduled workflows in “Running” or “Pending” status.

  • Bulk cancellation is supported, with filters and device scope respected.

  • Permissions:

  • Admins and users with Automation > Edit can cancel any workflow.

  • Users with Automation > Run can only cancel workflows they started.

  • Canceled executions are marked with a new “Canceled” status and message.

  • Audit Log records each cancellation, including user, device, workflow name, and timestamp.

  • Workflows triggered by notifications cannot be canceled.

  • UI updates include new status icons, filter options, and a cancel warning dialog.

  • API and device card cancellation are out of scope for this release.

MDM: iOS location tracking history and additional location details

This release improves iOS location tracking introduced in Pulseway 9.24 by adding location history and a more focused way to investigate device location.

Key improvements:

  • More location context: Location history and detailed timestamps help understand where a device has been, not just its last known position.

  • Dedicated Location Tracking view: Clicking Last Known Location opens a single view with device status, key identifiers, location details (address, coordinates, last seen), and a map centered on the latest location.

  • Clear time zone handling: Timestamps default to the user’s local time, with an option to view times in the device’s local time zone.

  • Lost Mode location tracking: Devices can be tracked using a dedicated Lost Mode location tracking mode, designed specifically for lost or stolen device scenarios.

Advanced Reporting: Patch Status reports

You can now include Patch Status data in Advanced Reporting, making it easier to review and export patch deployment information for your managed environments.

Key features:

  • A new template Patch Summary report has been added to Advanced Reporting.

  • Patch summary data can now be included in custom Advanced Reporting reports.

  • Reporting is limited to displaying information for one policy at a time.

Device Status notification enhancements

This release aligns the repeatability logic of online device notifications with that of offline notifications, ensuring both types of alerts follow the same configuration in the Status Monitoring profile. The change eliminates inconsistent notification behavior and improves the reliability of device status alerts for technicians.

Key improvements:

  • Online notifications are now strictly dependent on the offline notification’s repeatability setting in the Status Monitoring profile.

  • If offline notifications are set to non-repeatable, only one online notification will be sent after the device returns online, regardless of how often the device status changes.

  • If offline notifications are repeatable, online notifications will also repeat, but only after a new offline notification is sent and the device transitions back online.

  • Online notifications will not be sent if no offline notification was previously triggered, or if offline notifications are disabled.

  • If an offline notification record is deleted, the next offline and online events will resume normal notification behavior.
