Elements of the flow - Trigger alarm

The element Trigger alarm, triggers an alarm in the organisation in which the flow is executed.

Configuration.
Basic configuration of the alarm.

1️⃣ Trigger in an existing event: By default, each new alarm also automatically creates a new event. This function allows you to trigger an alarm in an existing event. Thus, no new event is then created when the alarm is triggered.
Instead of the event name, it is mandatory to enter the event ID. Only in this way can a unique assignment be made.

2️⃣ Event name: Defines the name of the event when it is triggered. If the function Trigger in an existing event is active, this field becomes the input for the event ID.

The Input function (rectangular symbol to the left of the input fields) allows you to access functions where data can be obtained automatically, e.g. from previous elements.

3️⃣ Event Severity: Sets the severity of the event. You can define the severity level in the organisation settings.

4️⃣ Alarm text: Defines the alarm text for the alarm. The document icon to the right of the input field allows you to select a text template.

5️⃣ Alarm Mode: Makes it possible to define the alerting mode for the alerting.



Resources
