# Auto Approve Driver Updates Scheduled

### Description

This scheduled runbook automatically approves pending driver updates in one or more Intune driver update policies. It can filter driver updates by display name pattern, driver class, or manufacturer. Optional email notifications can be sent after approval operations complete.

### Setup regarding email sending

Sending an email report is optional and only happens when a recipient (`EmailTo`) is provided. The sender address is taken from the `RJReport.EmailSender` tenant setting.

This runbook sends emails using the Microsoft Graph API. To send emails via Graph API, you need to configure an existing email address in the runbook customization.

See the [RealmJoin Report Settings documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings) for details.
