How do I create a TheHive alert from a workflow?

Short answer: You can create alert in TheHive by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the TheHive Create Alert action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

What inputs does Create Alert require?

Required: Title, Description, Type, Source. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
