BlueTally lets you save time and headaches by automatically adding devices from Intune into the app as assets. Set up your integration in only a few steps:
1) Log in to Azure and search for "app registrations"
2) Click on "New registrations"
3) Give the app a name (like BlueTally Intune), select "Single tenant only" and click Register
4) Click on Manage, then on API permissions in the left menu bar
5) Click on "Add a permission" and then "Microsoft Graph"
6) Click on "Application permissions"
7) Search "DeviceManagementManagedDevices" (case-sensitive), and then tick the DeviceManagementManagedDevices.ReadAll option and click "Add permissions"
8) Do the same for "Device.read.all" (case sensitive)
9) Do the same for "Directory.Read.All" (case-sensitive)
10) Click on the dots all the way on the right side of the User.Read permission, then click on "Remove permission"
11) Click on "Grant admin consent for ...." and "Yes" in the confirmation
12) Click on "Certificates & secrets" in the left menu bar
13) Click on "New client secret", give it a name (like BlueTally Key), set the expiration to "24 months" and click "Add"
14) Copy the "Value" and note it down for later
15) Click on Overview in the left menu bar
16) Copy the "Application (client) ID" and note it down for later
17) Click on "Endpoints" and then copy the "OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2)" and note it down for later
18) Open the Integrations page in your BlueTally account and paste in the values that you noted down earlier. Then test your connection to make sure it's valid and complete the configuration of the integration there.
That's it! It will take around ~10 minutes for the first transfer to complete.
In order to automatically check out the assets to employees, they have to already be added as an Employee in the app. We recommend setting up our SCIM integration first.
If you enable the Merge option, assets added to BlueTally with the same "Asset ID" as the "Device Name" (or the field you set in "Map Asset ID to") of a device in Intune will have the fields "Asset Name" and "Serial Number" overwritten in BlueTally. That way, you can keep the full history of assets you already added to BlueTally, while getting the most important details from Intune.
All new devices added to Intune will automatically be added as an Asset in BlueTally, and if automatic checkout has been enabled, they'll be automatically checked out to their assigned user in Intune as well. If the device wasn't assigned to anyone in Intune at the time of first sync, it will be automatically checked out once it's been assigned a user in Intune.
If an asset is already in the app with the same Asset ID as a device in Intune, it will be skipped (unless you enable the Merge option).
If you mapped the Asset ID in BlueTally to a field in Intune that is empty for a device (for example, mapping the Asset ID to the Device Name, which can be blank), the device won't be added to BlueTally, as BlueTally requires the Asset ID field to have a unique value.
