Usage#

The MicrosoftTeamsAsk script sends a message, such as operation approval or information retrieval, in a question format from Cortex XSOAR to Microsoft Teams. The message must have at least two options. For example, "yes" and "no".

After the question is answered in Microsoft Teams, the response is sent to the Cortex XSOAR server, which appears as a conditional task in a playbook with response options as conditions. Depending on the response, the workflow may continue. For example, you define the following arguments:

  • option1: yes
  • option2: no

If a team member responds "yes" the playbook continues running the "yes" branch.

If a task ID is included in the script, and the task condition is met, the playbook closes as soon as a response is received.
