Adding automation rule actions

System notifications, triggers, and escalation rules must include at least one action to perform when they run. You can add multiple actions to triggers and escalation rules, but each action type can only be included once per rule.

1. Select an Action in the Add Rule Action dialog box when you are configuring an automation rule.

The available actions depend on the rule type and the selected precondition and trigger when action.

2. Enter or select the action options.

The options change based on the selected action. See Prevent, Run Executable, Send Email, Modify, Enter Event, Remove from Folder, Add to Folder, and Create Snapshot. There are no available options for the Recalculate Fields action.

3. Click OK to add the action.
