Terminal actions are operations that need to be carried out on payment terminals, and that can be planned for a certain date and time. Most of those actions are planned by Adyen, like updating to a release, or obtaining logs. Some actions can be planned by you.<\/p>\n

Here we describe how you can use our Management API<\/strong> to automate terminal actions to deploy apps and certificates on Android payment terminals.<\/p>\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n

Before you begin, take into account the following requirements and limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Requirement<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Integration type<\/strong><\/td>\nA Terminal API integration<\/a> with payment terminals or a standalone solution<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
API credentials<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\nYou must have an API credential with an API key and the following roles<\/a>:
Hardware<\/strong><\/td>\nAndroid payment terminals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Limitations<\/strong><\/td>\nRequests to live Management API endpoints related to scheduling terminal actions are subject to rate limits<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

When planned actions take effect<\/h2>\n

Terminal actions are changes in the configuration of the terminal. The terminal receives configuration changes when it makes a maintenance call<\/a> and implements the changes when it reboots at the restart hour<\/a> (at 06:00 AM by default).
\nTo ensure this process succeeds, we recommend that you keep your terminals turned on and connected to the network overnight.<\/p>\n

In the case of Android terminal actions<\/a>, the terminal does not wait until the restart hour.<\/p>\n
