Missing configurations in imported playbooks

When you import a playbook from a different Splunk SOAR environment or from a different repository, such as the Splunk SOAR Community repository, one or more action block configurations for that playbook might not be found on your system. Playbooks will not run if they have one or more missing configurations.

When you open a playbook with missing configurations, a warning displays on the top of the screen.

To connect missing configurations for your imported playbook, follow these steps.

1. Select the link on the warning message to view the missing configurations.
2. For each of the missing configurations shown, use the list provided to select an appropriate asset configuration to link to that action block.
   • If multiple action blocks use the same missing asset configuration, when you create the link for the first action block in this step, the other mappings for the same asset configuration resolve automatically.
   • If you do not have an appropriate configuration installed, select the link provided to add a new configuration.

   When creating the new asset configuration, if you use the exact same name as the missing asset configuration, the mappings resolve automatically.

3. Select Save.

The warning continues to display until you have resolved all missing configurations.
