Abstract

Create a time triggered or feed triggered job in Cortex XSOAR to run a playbook.

Time triggered jobs run at predetermined times. You can schedule the job to run at a recurring time or one time at a specific date and time. For an example, see Add Indicators to SIEM Using a Time Triggered Job.

Note

  3. If you want the job to repeat at regular intervals, select the Recurring checkbox and choose the desired interval.

    You can choose to run the job every X number of days, on specific days of the week, at a specific time and also choose a start date and an expiration date. You have the option to configure the recurring job using a cron expression. To do so, after selecting the Recurring checkbox, click Switch to Cron view and enter the expression. For assistance in defining the cron expression, click Show cron examples after switching to cron view.

    • Don’t trigger a new job instance.
