Auto publish apps distributed from Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed

Auto-publishing a distributed app

When distributing apps from Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed (QSECM), the app is by default placed into a staging area, requiring an administrator to manually assign the app to a managed space.

This no-code example identifies apps published to the tenant with the properties:

  • spaceId is empty
  • published is true
  • originAppId is empty

Any identified apps are moved to a space. You can add additional blocks to perform other activities such as changing the app name, owner, and more, if required.

You can run this automation manually, on a schedule, or on the “app created” webhook from the Qlik Cloud Services connector.
