Abstract

Filter transformer playbooks mapping.

You can create filters and transformers when adding or editing a task in a playbook or when mapping an instance.

You can filter as many nested objects as required. Cortex XSOAR automatically calculates the context root to which to filter. For example, if you want to extract all Item names in EWS, Cortex XSOAR calculates that the context root is EWS.items.

You can change the context data root to which to filter, but it is not recommended to select a different root, as it affects the filter results. The dropdown list displays the filter root for backward compatibility.

  2. In the field you want to add a filter or transformer to, click playbook-brackets.png and then select Filters and Transformers.
