This n8n workflow streamlines security operations by integrating Slack with Qualys, enabling users to initiate vulnerability scans and generate detailed reports directly from Slack interfaces. The workflow begins with a Webhook trigger that captures Slack interactions, routing messages based on callback IDs to appropriate modals for user input. Users can trigger vulnerability scans or report generation through Slack modals, which gather necessary parameters like scan title, asset groups, report template, and output format.
Once inputs are submitted, the workflow passes data to dedicated sub-workflows for executing scans and creating reports on Qualys, with relevant variables dynamically set based on user input. The process involves opening Slack modals for user commands, handling modal submissions, and sending appropriate responses back to Slack to confirm actions or display status updates.
This automation setup makes it easy to manage security scans and report generation from within Slack, saving time and ensuring consistent security assessments. It is ideal for security teams seeking quick, remote management of vulnerability scans and reports without leaving their communication platform.
**Key nodes include:**
– Webhook trigger for Slack event data
– Modal dialogs for user inputs (scan options, report templates, titles)
– Conditional routing for different Slack interactions
– Sub-workflows for running Qualys scans and reports
– Responses to Slack to confirm actions and close modals
Practical use cases include automating vulnerability assessments, streamlining security compliance reporting, and enabling security teams to respond rapidly to threats from Slack.
