Notifications

Notification rules are an object which controls when notifications are generated and how they are distributed (actions).

Notifications are a way of updating third party systems of particular events or event combinations. Notifications can be configured using either a browser or via the API.

Notifications operate on an event, and action when a set of conditions are met for that event.

Action Outputs are currently either a Dashboard notification, Slack notification or webhook notification (HTTP/HTTPS supported).
