List commands ↗

Use the following list commands in the CLI in the War Room and Playground, scripts, and playbook tasks:

The list must already exist before you use the getList, addToList, setList, or removeFomList commands.

In this example, a manageOOOusers script uses the getList, createList, and setList commands.
