Creating one is really easy:

Choose the trigger for your message
Select "Data trigger" to define the metric that will trigger the notification, the condition in which it'll trigger, and even the frequency in which Rupert will check the data.

All the data-triggered notifications that were created can be found at the bottom of the Rupert dashboard. Hovering over any of them will let you edit, delete, and even download an event log of all the times Rupert checked the metric and its results.
