NinjaOne Endpoint Management: Automation Script Templates

  • Last Updated March 9, 2026

Topic

This article shows you how to access and import scripts from the Template Library in NinjaOne.

Environment

NinjaOne Endpoint Management

Description

The Template Library is a collection of scripts we collected from a list of popular requests from the NinjaOne community, written by our in-house script development team, and resides within NinjaOne's automation library.

We record all new and updated scripts in the Announcements and Webinars section of the NinjaOne Dojo. Refer to Announcements and Webinars for more information.
NinjaOne template scripts are provided "as-is." It is the user's responsibility to test and evaluate them before implementation.
  • Scripts provided in the Template Library tab are available to every NinjaOne account. You must import scripts before you can use them.
  • You can use template scripts for more complex operations. The code is visible for customer verification.
  • To request that we add a script to the Template Library, submit your idea to our NinjaOne Template Library Productboard.
