This workflow automates the full cycle of generating, retrieving, and delivering Qualys scan reports directly into Slack. It eliminates the need for manual report generation, monitoring, and sharing, ensuring your Security Operations Center (SOC) team always has timely access to the latest vulnerability scan results.

Triggered from a parent Slack shortcut workflow, it fetches report templates from Qualys, launches a new report, monitors its status until completion, downloads the final report, and posts it to a designated Slack channel with detailed metadata for quick reference.

✨ Features

  1. Automated Qualys Integration – Fetches available report templates and launches reports with dynamic parameters.
  1. Smart Report Monitoring – Loops with periodic checks until the report is marked “Finished,” reducing manual oversight.
  1. Automatic Report Retrieval – Downloads the completed Qualys report in the desired format (e.g., PDF).
  1. Slack Delivery – Posts the report file to Slack with key details like report ID, launch time, size, format, and expiration.
  1. SOC Efficiency – Saves analysts’ time by automating tedious report handling, ensuring fast visibility for the whole team.
  1. Subworkflow Compatible – Designed to run as part of a larger Slack-triggered Qualys bot workflow.
