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.

FAQ

Questions about Create Alert.

What does the Create Alert action do in TheHive?

Creates a new alert in TheHive with title, description, severity, observables, and source. Common entry point for piping detections from SIEM/EDR tooling into TheHive.

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.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if TheHive returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message TheHive returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Alert support batch operations?

Run Create Alert inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within TheHive's rate limits.
