Responders handle dispatching of alerts to external systems. When a rule condition matches, the rule processing engine creates a response. RulePoint then sends the response to the specified external system through a conduit called responder.
With a responder service, you can define the interface parameters for a particular type of response, which is the action to be taken when a rule activates. From a single responder service, you can create multiple specific responses.
An example of a responder service is an email service that defines the mail server and account used to send an email when a rule activates. You can define different recipients and the content of the email to be sent when a particular rule activates.
After you create a responder service, you then must create and associate specific response to the responder service. After you save the responder service, you have the ADMIN permissions to the responder service. Only you or an administrator can change, disable, delete, run, or grant other users permissions (ADMIN, READ, WRITE, or EXECUTE) to the responder service.
