Modern SOC environments generate incidents with different risk levels. Without automated routing, analysts manually separate low priority alerts from critical escalations, slowing response operations and increasing alert fatigue.
This n8n workflow automatically classifies security incidents into Low, Medium, and High severity buckets, formats each branch independently, merges all escalation streams, and generates one operational report.
Problem
Security operations teams often struggle with:
- inconsistent incident prioritization
- manual triage workflows
- fragmented escalation reporting
- noisy low priority alerts mixed with critical incidents
- inefficient analyst handoffs
- SOC teams lose visibility into critical threats
- escalation workflows become delayed
- executive summaries require manual formatting
- AI automation pipelines receive inconsistent severity metadata
Solution
An n8n workflow that:
- Ingests security incident records
- Calculates incident severity using risk scores
- Routes incidents into Low, Medium, and High severity branches
- Formats each branch independently
- Merges all escalation streams back together
- Sends a unified SOC report through Telegram
Workflow Pipeline
Trigger → Incident Input → Severity Classification → Switch Routing → Branch Formatting → Merge → SOC Report → Telegram Alert
Severity Buckets
Low Severity
Risk score under 250Medium Severity
Risk score between 250 and 999High Severity
Risk score 1000 and aboveExample Output
