How is this schedule Assets import automation useful?

Question

Hi,

Just wondering the purpose of this automation that schedules Assets imports. It looks like it just runs the existing configured CSV file. How is running the same CSV file again useful?

I'm trying to figure out a way to connect Assets with Jamf so changes in Jamf automatically get pushed to Assets, either via API or some app integration.

Example: Laptop "A" is purchased and details entered into Jamf. Then Laptop "A" details are pushed automatically to Assets either immediately or next day.

Thanks,

Yes, this. Unfortunately, these existing DC features are not yet still not available in Cloud. I mean, one simply doesn't use a CSV for synchronization. Database, JSON, LDAP are the ones we need for scheduling.
