Create scripts to perform specific actions in Cortex XSOAR when the SLA is breached. Properties in the SLA timer field value.
Scripts in Cortex XSOAR enable you to automate processes. In the context of SLA, you can create scripts that will perform specific actions when the SLA is breached. Each SLA script must include the SLA tag.
You can use an out-of-the-box script and attach it to an incident field.
Send an email when the SLA is overdue
Cortex XSOAR comes with an out-of-the-box script, called SendEmailOnSLABreach, that sends an email to specific users when the script is triggered. You can add this to any incident field as required. For example, add the script to the Remediation SLA incident, so that when an SLA/Timer is breached, an email is sent automatically. By default, the script sends an email to the incident assignee, but you can manually edit the script to add additional recipients..
