Notification actions are events that are triggered by a FrameFlow alert from an event monitor. FrameFlow has over 20 different notification actions that you can mix and match to control what happens after an alert on one of your monitors. Our notification actions span from simple actions like email alerting to more complex actions like running PowerShell scripts and SSH commands. This article will walk you through the possible actions.
