Automation rules monitor the status and traffic usage of Internet of Things (IoT) SIM cards and send notifications when specific conditions are met. This topic describes how to create an automation monitoring rule.
Usage notes
Both automation rules and MQ push notifications monitor the status and traffic usage of IoT SIM cards. The main difference is the notification delivery method. Automation rules provide notifications within the console and do not require custom development. In contrast, MQ push notifications can be sent directly to your system but require custom development.
After you configure an automation rule, notifications appear on the Automation Rules > Notifications page in the IoT SIM console. To receive notifications by email or through a DingTalk group chatbot, you must configure these options separately. For more information, see Configure custom notifications.
Create a monitoring rule
Log on to the IoT SIM Service console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Automation Rules > Rule List.
Click Create Rule and set the parameters.
