Create playbooks in Splunk SOAR

Create a playbook in Splunk SOAR to automate security workflows so analysts can spend more time performing analysis and investigation. The playbook editor provides a visual platform for creating playbooks without having to write code.

To define a workflow that you want to automate, link together a series of actions that are provided by apps. An app is third-party software integrated with Splunk SOAR. For example, you can integrate MaxMind as an app, which provides a geolocate ip action, or integrate Okta as app to provide actions such as set password or enable user. The actions available for use in your playbooks are determined by the apps integrated with Splunk SOAR.

After you create and save a playbook in Splunk SOAR, you can run playbooks when performing these tasks in Splunk SOAR:

• Triaging or investigating cases as an analyst
• Creating or adding a case to Investigation
• Configuring playbooks to run automatically directly from the playbook editor
