Abstract
Techniques are described for enabling users to add custom code function blocks and multi-prompt blocks to customizable playbooks that can be executed by an orchestration, automation, and response (OAR) platform. At a high level, a playbook comprises computer program code and possibly other data that can be executed by an OAR platform to carry out an automated set of actions. A playbook is comprised of one or more functions or codeblocks, where each codeblock contains program code that performs defined functionality when the codeblock is encountered during execution of the playbook of which it is a part. For example, a first codeblock may implement an action that is performed relative to one or more IT assets, another codeblock might filter data generated by the first codeblock in some manner, and so forth.
