Create an if-then rule in the rule set editor

An if-then rule determines what action to run according to the condition of the incoming message.

To create an if-then rule in the rule set editor, proceed as follows:

Procedure

1. In the rule set editor, click the Add If-then rule icon (). A new rule appears.

2. In the Presentation row, write a sentence that will describe the rule to another user.
3. Compose the condition as follows:

   1. In the If row, click Condition. A pop-up window appears.

   2. Use the choices in the window to build your condition. You can either choose an existing template which will then prompt you for a value, or you can compose it yourself by clicking the appropriate operators and values in sequence.
4. Set the action as follows:

   1. In the Then row, click Action. A pop-up window appears.

   2. As earlier, use the choices in the window to set the action. You can either choose an existing template which will then prompt you for a value, or you can set it yourself by choosing from one of the other options.
