Quick action suggestion will be displayed in the content editor once you've set your trigger type.

If the trigger is scheduled report, you can add dynamic data to your content from any asset you have in your connected data source.

To open the menu, type "/" in the editor (see image below)

** This is not possible when inline with text

The automatic generator will provide you with a dynamic content based on the data coming from the trigger results, in seconds!

Enrich the text with emojis, hyperlinks and action buttons to make the alert more appealing and engaging and drive your recipients to action.

Allows you to dynamically aggregate data, explain triggered results, and provide insights directly within your alert content.

This option is available when selecting the Data events trigger type.

For example, you can calculate the total number of orders (out of the results set) by counting the order_id field.

Beyond basic aggregations, computed fields can be used to describe more complex scenarios, such as deviations from expected metrics or detected anomalies. Add context to your data and make it easier for stakeholders to understand and act on the information presented.

Describing deviations from Thresholds

When working with extended computed fields, you can describe how metric results deviate from thresholds set in trigger conditions. For example, if a trigger is set to alert when sales drop below a certain number, a computed field can dynamically describe this deviation and even add a visual cue, like an emoji, to highlight the severity of the drop.

You can also customize the emojis that indicate the difference from the threshold and they'll be dynamically displayed.

Anomaly detection with computed fields

Computed fields also support anomaly detection, allowing you to display exactly how much your results deviate from established trends or boundaries, such as upper, lower, or crossing bounds.

Take advantage of advanced features like OR conditions, if statements, and even visual emojis that adapt to your data. You can also set custom date intervals to help recipients better understand the data.

In the computed fields section, you'll find the ability to add custom expressions. This powerful feature enables you to create dynamic calculations based on your data or in relation to the pre-defined trigger metric.

Please note: this feature is available at the moment for SQL data sources.

Click the icon on the right to open the formatting options. Here you can find:

The default formatting is short date (event if this is a timestamp field). To change that, click the date / timestamp field and select the formatting you would like to use

When choosing a data block out of the trigger results, you can further filter the results in shown in the content

Filtering embedded dynamic data can be done by:

You can filter the content data by a static date or use the dynamic date option.

The dynamic date allows you to:

With this option, you can set filters to compare two dynamic values within your data. This powerful enhancement allows for more nuanced and accurate data filtering.

Example Use Case: By comparing the fields credits_used and number_of_credits_allowed, you can identify accounts that have exceeded their credit limits and take appropriate action.

You can create hyperlinks by highlighting text in your alert and then clicking the hyperlink icon located in the bottom format bar.

Just like with action buttons, hyperlinks allow you to:

To create a dynamic hyperlink, type the curly braces { to open a dropdown with all possible fields from your asset.

​

Action buttons can be added either as part of data block or independently.

To connect and use dynamic data to create your button, add them inside the data block. First, select the button type and add the info in the popup.

** There's a maximum of 3 buttons pre block which will appear after each data row returned.

Use the commands menu to select Add actions"

This will add the actions block where you can add up to 3 buttons to be sent in your alert

With Rupert's action tracking, your alert recipients can easily monitor the completion of tasks in Slack. When an action button is clicked, it automatically transforms into a green (i.e. primary) button with a ✅ emoji next to the label. This visual cue helps recipients quickly identify which actions they have already completed and which still require attention.

Action tracking is fully automatic—no setup is needed. It works in both direct messages (DMs) and Slack channels. In a DM, recipients can track their own completed actions, while in Slack channels, the tracking indicates engagement with the action from any participant.

The preview allows you to see real-time data from your asset, reflecting the filters, conditions, and breakdowns you've set. This enables you to verify that the data is correctly filtered and displayed as intended before finalizing your setup. By using the preview, you can ensure accuracy and make necessary adjustments to meet your requirements. The preview dynamically updates as you as you edit the content, providing an immediate visual confirmation of how the data will appear in the final output.
