Invoke a automation method from other automation

L2 Linker

Hi,

 

Can someone help me to call a method of one automation from a other automation script. Can't copy past the code into other, because the code requires different docker image to run.

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

executeCommand can also be used to call (custom) automations, so if you can make that method as an automation itself it would solve it.
Another option is to add the method to the CommonServerUserPython automation, which is essentially a python file that gets copied into each automation upon runtime and can thus be called from all python automations.

Beware that this last option needs the method to be py2 and py3 compatible to include it in all python automation, this is the reason we mainly use option 1 as it also allows us to run code cross language, like javascript executing python or even powershell methods (automations).

Javascript: executeCommand("[command_name]", [params_in_json])

Python: demisto.executeCommand("[command_name]", [params_in_json])

Hi @Joachimb 

Thanks for your reply. I would like to call a method from a custom automation script into another custom automation script. could you suggest the way to do that. I believe demisto.executeCommand is used to call built-in commands.
