Notes: Approved window for server reboots, updates, and maintenance. Change management approval not required for routine maintenance.
How it works: The integration looks up the device hostname in IT Glue to find the organization, then retrieves any documented maintenance windows. This information is included in the Autotask ticket and used to validate remediation actions.

Remediation Actions
Click any action to see the confirmation page

When a technician clicks a remediation link in the Autotask ticket, they're taken to a confirmation page where they can review the action and execute it.

Maintenance Window Enforcement: Actions like "Reboot Device" and "Start Recovery VM" check the IT Glue maintenance window before executing. If outside the window, the technician can either wait or force the action (with acknowledgment).
