This document describes how to use the Alert Type trigger to trigger a
playbook, based on the Rule Generator name.
Go to the Response > Playbooks page and create a new playbook.
Drag the Alert Type trigger to a playbook step and double-click it to
open it.
The Parameters field requires the Rule Generator name of each alert
that can trigger this playbook. Select the Rule Generator name from the menu.
If you don't remember the Rule Generator name of the alert you want to trigger, go to Cases >
Overview.
In the Alerts widget, click View Details. The side drawer opens with case details.
Copy and paste this Rule Generator name, or select it from the menu.
Continue building the playbook. Once you've finished, this Rule Generator triggers the
playbook for generated alerts.
