# Integrations

Configure integrations that connect Cortex XDR to external services.

Integrations enable Cortex XDR to connect and communicate with other products.

Integrations are part of content packs. When you adopt a playbook from the Playbook Catalog, the related content pack is automatically downloaded. In some cases, the content pack includes an integration. Content packs containing integrations are also automatically downloaded as you configure playbook tasks that require integration commands.

To use an integration, you must configure an integration instance. This can be done within the playbook workflow or on the Automation and feed integrations page. You can have multiple instances of an integration, for example, to connect to different environments.

On the Automation and feed integrations page, you can do the following:

| Option                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| View integration source   | View the integration settings and source code.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Delete                    | Although you can't delete an integration installed from a content pack, you can delete an integration instance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| View integration commands | Below each installed integration, you can click Show commands to view a list of the integration's commands and a description of each command.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Version history           | When you view the source code, you can also see the history of the integration and revert to previous installed versions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigate-and-respond-to-cases/automation/integrations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
