Continuously Alert Until Acknowledged - iMonnit Rules

The default behavior of a Rule is to send an Alert/execute configured Tasks, then engage it's Snooze behavior. Rules offer a toggle to enable or disable additional alerts for the triggering escalation. In other words, you can choose to only have an alert sent once or persistently. The configuration for this is called Continuously Alert Until Acknowledged.

Users that only want a single alert when a triggering condition initiates should turn this off.

Users that want persistent alerts from a triggering condition should turn this on.

The default behavior of Rule alerts/Tasks is described below:

• A Rule will send alerts for 24 hours before they stop sending, even if the triggering device is still in the triggering conditions.
  • System Actions can be added for advanced functionality that will allow for processing of additional logic.
• By default, a Rule will continue to send alerts on the configured Snooze interval for up to 24 hours if the triggering condition persists. The default Snooze interval is 120 minutes.
• The Auto-Acknowledge toggle is enabled by default. This means that when a Rule is triggered, and the condition returns to a normal non-triggering condition, the Rule will Reset. When a Rule is Reset with the triggering condition has returned to normal, the alerts will stop sending and the Rule will be prepared to send again in the future if a triggering condition occurs.
  • If a Rule is Reset with the triggering condition persisting, the Rule trigger escalation will start again on the next trigger event.
• Snooze Jointly is turned on. This means you can Disarm the Rule and prevent additional alerts from the triggering condition for multiple devices in the event that more than one device has triggered the Rule. If this default behavior is toggled off, the Rule handles each triggering device as a separate instance that is Snoozed separately.
