I appreciate that a lot of assets have a fixed location; however as a company primarily using laptops, we’d like a way to auto assign the location of the laptop based on the Used By users location.
We can easily identify the what is a laptop as far as workflow is concerned but cant come up with the webhook that would read the users location_id and put it in the asset’s location_id.
Any ideas appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Thanks for the suggestion.
we solved this with an automation using the api via a request to lookup the location of the “used by” user and write it back to the location of asset. We just run it on a schedule and update all the assets once a week.

If you’ve got an internal ip range that isn’t common like “192.168.1.*”, then what you can do is do a workflow which runs when an ip address is updated. Add a condition for if the IP address starts with “192.168.10” then set the location.
Obviously this is not foolproof as you’d have cases where users might stumble into a network within your ranges.

I think there might be a way of doing editing the location of the asset based on the used by user’s location via webhooks. Through thought about how it might be done.
If the used by isn’t actually the user ID then you’d have to do “Filter Requesters) and get the ID that. Sometimes you’d end up with single quotes covering the id’s etc, so you’d need to trim the result to use in the next steps, albeit I’m not sure when that happens.
Hope this helps.
Also looking for a solution to this!!
