 Blink is a security automation copilot that generates automated workflows to handle repetitive tasks and enforce security policies – simply by typing a prompt. With no-code, low-code, and full coding capabilities, you can automate any security or infrastructure workflow across your entire security stack. Blink has 7K+ pre-built workflows that are available to download from the Blink Library, so you can start automating best practices and common tasks right away. Integrate with popular tools to automate all things security – and beyond.

Introduction to Blink

Welcome to Blink Ops

To use the Blink platform, you need to know the key concepts and terminology.

Key Concepts

A Workflow is a sequence of steps containing actions designed to complete a specific task or process without manual intervention. The workflow that carries out these tasks automatically, whether they are simple, single-step actions or complex, multi-step processes that interact with multiple systems.

Workflows

Creating a New Workflow

Testing a Workflow

When editing a new or existing Workflow, you are working on an inactive draft version. Changes you make to a draft can be saved, but do not affect the published version.

Workflows Runtime Limitations

The Case Management feature allows you to effectively handle security incident investigations by providing detailed information and logs in one place on a single [dashboard](/docs/case-management/dashboard). This, in turn, allows for quicker responses to security incidents as soon as they are detected or identified.

Blink Copilot is an innovative feature that helps users to create custom workflows from the ground up, using the advanced capabilities of generative AI to enhance and streamline workflows within the Workflow Editor.

Blink Copilot

The Blink Copilot Best Practices guide helps users optimize their prompts for better automated workflow results.

Blink Copilot Best Practices and Limitations

Transform the output of step that contains any `JSON data` using guidance from [Blink Copilot](/docs/blink-copilot/blink-copilot) or manually entering a `JQ command`. This feature uses build-time AI to generate JQ commands from your text prompts, allowing you to reshape data formats or focus on essential information.

Step Output Transformation

In the Blink Platform section of the documentation, you can find all the necessary information related to Blink's Platform and its features.

Blink Platform

Blink customers have the option to designate a Service Provider (MSP, MSSP) to oversee the management of their account. By doing so, the Service Provider can develop customized Workflows tailored to the specific needs of the end-users, as well as manage and update them to guarantee a reliable and secure workspace. Moreover, the Service Provider can promptly address any issues that may arise, ensuring uninterrupted operations and a seamless user experience.

Service Providers

In the subsequent section of the documentation, you will find sample tutorials and detailed instructions on creating different types of Workflow offered by Blink Ops.

The _Workflow Editor_ allows you to build and automate security workflows by adding Blink action or actions from various third-party integrations to steps. It enables users to create custom workflows that streamline security tasks, enhance efficiency, and respond to threats or incidents in a consistent and automated way. Through the workflow editor, you can easily select predefined actions, configure triggers, and set up automated responses, all without needing extensive coding knowledge.

Workflow Editor

The Workflow Editor

Conditions are used to compare two values. The condition builder enables you to use condition statements in your Workflows.

Condition Builder

Steps are the building blocks of a [Workflow](/docs/workflows/workflows). Each Step has a single goal and Steps are arranged in a logical order to complete a workflow. The user selects an [Action](/docs/workflows/building-workflows/actions/actions) and adds a [Connection](docs/workflows/building-workflows/connections/connections), if required, to the Workflow's flow on the Editor.

Steps

The files mechanism allows Workflows builders to create, edit and use files which are persisted between executions of steps in a Workflow. The lifespan of files is aligned with the lifespan of the execution of the Workflow - when the execution is finished, the files are deleted.

Files

The Workflow `YAML` contains all the information about the Workflow. Its name, description, runner, etc. It also includes a list of the Workflow's Steps, and each step has a name, action, inputs, and a connection.

Workflow YAML

To view the workflows's Run Logs, select the Run Logs tab, and then choose the specific Automated Workflow's Run Log you wish to view.

With the Case Management feature, you can define **service level agreement (SLA)** response times in two ways for the **entire case** or for the **statuses** of the selected case. You can set the **SLA** by choosing a time duration in **Days**,**Hours**, or **Minutes**.

Linked Cases

Blink users can share selected cases with other both Blink Users or Users who do not have a Blink Account.

Sharing a Case

Observables refer to data that indicates a system may have been infiltrated by a cyber threat. They provide cybersecurity teams with crucial knowledge after a data breach or another breach in security. In this section, you can create and manage Observables for your Cases.

Workspaces are compartmentalized environment within your organization designed to help you efficiently manage and organize hyperautomation resources and teams.Each workspace operates independently, with no hierarchical connections between them, enabling complete control over managing resources and workflows. Workspaces can be created based on specific functions or team needs, allowing team members to collaborate effectively on projects and share resources. When a new user joins Blink, a personal workspace is automatically created, named after the email used to sign up. Access to resources within a workspace is governed by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), linked to user roles, ensuring secure and controlled collaboration.

Workspaces

Blink's workspaces enable you to organize your company into smaller subdivisions based on your specific needs. Every team can have one or more workspaces. This enables team members to collaborate on projects and share Workflows and resources efficiently.

Creating a New Workspace

Additional workspaces can be created to fit your company's needs. Workspaces can be created for departments, teams, projects, and any other subdivision existing in your organization. The owner of the workspace controls the members and their roles.

Organizing Your Workspaces

Managing Your Workspace

Sharing resources allows members of a workspace to use resources created by others, but not to modify them. This allows team members to collaborate on projects easily and efficiently.

Sharing Workspace Resources

Workspace usage data is a core feature in Blink Ops that enables administrators and team leads to track and analyze their automation resource utilization. This feature provides real-time visibility into workflow execution metrics, helping teams optimize their automation processes and manage resources effectively.

Monitoring your Workspace Usage

The runner serves as the essential element in executing all actions within a Workflow.

Runners

All the information regarding the runners setting

Runner Settings

Sharing a Runner

For the best experience and performance, ensure that you always install the latest version of the runner. Blink runners are automatically updated by default.

Updating a Runner

When using an on-prem Runner installation, it can be desirable to install more than one Runner.

Configuring a Runner Group

Tables enable you to present and interact with data in Blink, unlocking new workflow possibilities. Since your Workflows can write to Tables and read data from them, this enables you to create stateful Workflows. In other words, you can build Workflows that work with Tables to track the status of something over time and provide interfaces with pre-defined actions for end users.

Tables

Create your First Table

When creating a new Table or field in Blink, users are required to provide a display name. Once the Table or field is created, it is assigned a permanent and unique name (ID), while the display name remains editable and can be changed.

Table and Field Naming Conventions

Basic Operations On Tables

Blink Tables allows for basic and advanced view changes, to allow filtering, sorting, ordering and browsing the table records.

Viewing capabilities of tables

Tables can be manipulated using workflow actions. The Table related actions are listed under the **Tables** collection in the actions explorer.

Parameter	Description
To	The recipients email address
Subject	Emails subject
Question	Questions to be answered
Answers	Possible answers separated by a comma
Timeout in minutes (optional)	Timeout in minutes for the recipient to respond
