Set container parameters in using the API block with the classic playbook editor

Use the API block to set parameters of the container it's running in. For example, you can use an API call to set the severity of a container.

Perform the following tasks to configure an API block:

1. Drop a new block onto the playbook editor.
2. Click on the block, and then select API from the block types.
3. Select the API property you want to set. The following table summarizes the properties that you can set:

   Property	Description
   label	The label of the container. The drop-down list shows all of the container labels currently available on your instance.
   sensitivity	The sensitivity of the container.
   severity	The severity of the container.
   status	The status of the container, such as Resolved.
   owner	The owner of the container.
   add list	One of two API calls that doesn't operate directly on the container. The add list property takes two parameters: the list that you want to add to, and the data you are adding. If the list doesn't exist, it is created by . You can point the data field to a variable by selecting from the properties, results, and artifacts, or you can type in a fixed string.
   remove list	One of two API calls that doesn't operate directly on the container. The remove list property takes a list name as the single parameter, and deletes that list when it has run.
   pin	Pin data to the heads-up display (HUD) in the container. This property takes the following parameters: Data Message Pin Type Pin Style
   add tag	The API call used to add a tag to the container.
   remove tag	The API call to remove a tag from the container.
   add comment	The API call used to add a comment to a container. You can either supply a variable or a static string in the input.
   promote to case	The API call used to promote the container to a case. It takes a single parameter, the case template you can pick from a drop-down list.
   add note	The API call used to add a note. It takes the parameters title, content, and note format. With the note format parameter, you can choose either HTML or Markdown.

   You can configure multiple API calls in any API block. For example, you can set the label, severity, and status of a container using one API block.
4. Click Save to save the settings. A check mark appears next to the API calls that you configured.
