Because Cloud SOAR provides automation functionality to the [Automation Service](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/), many features are identical between Cloud SOAR and the Automation Service. Therefore, for information about the following Cloud SOAR features, see the Automation Service articles:
* [App Central](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/app-central/)
-* [Playbooks](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/automation-service-playbooks/)

The following sections describe automation features only used in Cloud SOAR.
+## Run playbooks in Cloud SOAR
+
+In Cloud SOAR, playbooks are run from [incidents](/docs/cloud-soar/incidents-triage/#incidents). To run playbooks in Cloud SOAR, perform the following steps:
+1. [Create a playbook](/docs/platform-services/automation-service/automation-service-playbooks/#create-a-new-playbook) to use in incident response. When you create the playbook, do the following:
+ 1. Click the **Edit** icon on the **Start** node:
+ 1. Ensure that the **Add one or more params as a playbook input** field is left blank:

Do *not* click the field to show the dropdown menu:

The other values in the field are used for automation outside of Cloud SOAR:
+ * **Insight** and **Entity** are for launching a playbook from a Cloud SIEM automation.
+ * **Alert** is for launching a playbook from a monitor.
+ * **Parse from JSON** is for launching a playbook from another playbook.
+ 1. Proceed to create the playbook as needed.
+1. [Create an incident template](#create-a-new-incident-template) to be assigned to incidents. When you create the template, add the playbook to the template and select **Autorun** to run the playbook when the incident is created, or deselect if you want to manually run the playbook from the incident.
+1. Monitor and run playbooks on [incidents](/docs/cloud-soar/incidents-triage/#incidents):
+ * Within an incident, select **Operations > Playbooks** to see the playbooks assigned to the incident.
+ * If playbooks haven't been assigned by an incident template, you can add playbooks by clicking the **+** button.
+ * To manually run a playbook for the incident, click the **Run** button at the bottom of the screen.

## Incident templates
Incident templates define the way in which incidents will be created for a specific alert, incident type or event. They allow you to define a certain number of incident attributes (for example, incident type, severity, assignment, and any other default or custom incident parameters) that will automatically be set each time an incident is generated, based on the template. This may include type, classification, incident assignment, playbooks, knowledge base articles, or any other incident attribute. Since rules are created for generating incidents based on syslog messages, email, SIEM integrations, or other data sources, it is the incident templates that will define how the initial incident will be created.
