Workflows API

[Jeff Orr]

Is there a Meraki/Workflows available to help manage our routine operations? For example, be able to bulk add/delete targets? I thought I recalled an API with the non-Meraki version of workflows, but I can’t find anything except one item in the early-release Meraki API.

If not, any ideas on how to handle hundreds of switches? We will not be running catalyst center, and I need to be able to use RESTCONF (http task) to communicate. How could I pass along the switch name for a generic on-prem device in a workflow?

@Jeff Orr there is no easy way to do this today.  You have to add each switch as a new target.  We're working on creating Dynamic Targets w/ RESTCONF that will allow you specify the IP of a target so that you won't have to create a target for every device.  That should be coming out in the next few months.

Thanks for the update! I’m looking forward to that update.

 In the meantime I’m testing both HAPROXY and FastAPI as a stopgap to on-prem endpoints to act as a forwarding agent, but for ease would greatly prefer to be integrated.
