SMS Notification Rules

Overview

SMS notification rules allow you to send real-time alerts to a specified phone number(s) when conditions or thresholds in your data streams are met.

Ideal for quick updates on mobile devices, SMS notifications ensure personnel can respond to critical events even when away from a computer. For example, an SMS notification can alert maintenance staff when a machine’s temperature exceeds a critical threshold, enabling immediate action.

Creating SMS Notification Rule

To create an SMS Notification in the Bytebeam console:

1. Access Notification Rules

   Navigate to the Alerts tab and click on Notification Rules.
2. Initiate Creation

   Click on the + Notification Rule button and select the SMS option.
3. Fill Details

   Enter the notification rule name and the phone number(s) (in format followed by the country code(Ex:+91,+1)) where you want the SMS notifications to be sent. You can also select the created alert rules, enable Notify on Deactivation toggle and enter notification interval that defines how frequently the SMS should be sent, and specify the timezone. Finally, click Submit.

   Enabling the Notify on Deactivation toggle allows you to receive notifications when an alert is deactivated, in addition to the existing activation emails.

Your new SMS Notification Rule will appear in the Notification Rules table.
