This playbook enables automated URL blocking in Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) when triggered by Microsoft Sentinel incidents. It uses OAuth2 authentication to securely communicate with the Zscaler API and add malicious URLs to a designated block category.

- Automatically extract URL entities from Microsoft Sentinel incidents
- Authenticate with Zscaler ZIA using OAuth2 via the authentication playbook
- Add malicious URLs to a specified Zscaler URL category for blocking
- Process multiple URLs sequentially to ensure reliable API communication
