Automate Adding to Lists with Monitors & Workflows

Automating Detection & Prevention with the "Add to List" action

The "Add to List" action allows you to automatically add risky or noteworthy entities to a List directly from a Monitor or Workflow. This turns Lists into a dynamic part of your detection and response process.

📋 You can select any Identifier or Signal (type = string) that you can already add to a List manually, and configure your Monitor or Workflow to add it automatically when certain conditions are met.
⚡By automating the population of Lists, you can contain threats faster, enforce policies consistently, and reduce manual effort for your security team.

How it works:

In a Monitor or Workflow, add the Add to List action.
Select the target List.
Specify which entity attributes or signals (type = string) should be added when the triggering conditions are met.
Set a retention period for how long entities should remain on the List, if desired.
Add an optional description, if desired.

This action ensures that Lists are not just static collections, but live, automated tools that help your team respond to risks in real-time.

Example use cases

Credential stuffing: Automatically add suspicious IP addresses or devices to a “cool-off” List.
Suspicious account activity: Add accounts exhibiting unusual behavior to a List for review or automated policy enforcement.
Business-specific risks: Any custom signal or identifier that’s relevant to your organization’s risk policies.
