# Automation Integrations

Automation Integrations are a class of integrations utilized solely by Active Response playbooks to either enrich an alert or respond to an alert with an action, such as sending notifications or directly modifying the configuration of an asset, service, or networking infrastructure.

The supported automation integrations are listed on the **Automation Integrations** page in Expander (go to **Automation** → **Configuration** → **Automation Integrations)**. They are also listed in the [Automated Remediation Capabilities Matrix](/cortex-xpanse/active-response/automated-remediation-capabilities-matrix.md).

## **Configure Automation Integrations Using the Configuration Wizard**

The Configuration Wizard simplifies the task of configuring automation integrations by walking you through the process step-by-step.

1. Navigate to **Automation** → **Configuration** to open the **Automation Integrations** page.

## **Install and Configure Automation Integrations Manually**

### Note

We recommend using the Configuration Wizard to configure your automation integrations, but if you choose to do it manually, use the following procedure.
{% endhint %}

Some automation integrations are pre-installed and only need to be configured. Integrations that are not pre-installed must be installed from the Marketplace first and then configured. Perform the following steps to install (if necessary) and configure an automation integration in Expander.

1. Navigate to **Automation** → **Configuration** to open the **Automation Integrations** page.
2. Locate the integration you want to configure.

   Pre-installed integrations appear on the **Automation Integrations** page by default. If you do not see your integration listed, perform these steps to install the integration from the **Marketplace**.

   1. Go to **Marketplace** → **Browse** and locate the content pack for the integration you want to install.
   2. Select the content pack and review the information on the **Details**, **Content**, **Dependencies**, and **Version History** tabs.
   3. Click **Install** to add the content pack to the Cart.

      The Cart will display with the required and optional content packs for the integration.
   4. (Optional) **Optional Content Packs** appear in the Cart below the required content. Select the optional content you want to add.

      The Cart displays the number of items you are installing, including any required packs. You can log in and out, but the content remains in the Cart until you click either **Empty cart** or **Install**.
   5. Click **Install**. If you receive an error message, you need to fix the error before installing. In case of a warning message, you can install and fix it later.
3. When you've located the integration on the **Automation Integrations** page, click **Add Instance** for that integration.
4. Add the appropriate credentials, typically a URL and API key or username and password.
5. Click **Test** to verify that the integration has been configured correctly.
6. Click **Save & Exit** to save the configuration.
7. Repeat these steps for all integrations to be installed and configured.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/active-response/set-up-active-response/automation-integrations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
