Add Phantom playbooks to AR workspaces in Splunk AR (beta)

Workflow Automation is a beta feature available in Splunk AR version 2.1.0 and later. Workflow Automation integrates Phantom playbooks into AR workspaces to guide users through real-world tasks. To use Workflow Automation, create playbooks in Phantom and then add them to your AR workspaces in the Splunk AR mobile app.

Make sure you're registered to a Splunk instance, enable the Workflow Automation feature, and register to a Phantom instance. Then you can add playbooks to your workspaces to guide Splunk AR users through real life tasks.

Keep in mind that Workflow Automation is a beta feature that might have undocumented issues. If you run into issues, have questions, or need help with the Workflow Automation feature, email sammyl@splunk.com.
