In this lesson, you create an advanced rule that uses a custom analytic to verify if the customer city name starts with a specified character. You use this analytic in a rule to send emails about an unexpected bank shutdown. You also learn to create the required objects to run this rule.

The following figure represents the model structure to notify unexpected shutdown:

The model representation shows an SQL source that retrieves customer information and publishes events on the customer_info topic. The rule uses a watchlist and a custom analytic to evaluate events and alert customers included in the watchlist by email when there is an unexpected bank shutdown.

In this lesson, you learn to perform the following tasks:

Create a topic.
Create an SQL connection.
Create an SQL source.
Create a schedule.
Create an analytic.
Create an email connection.
Create an email response.
Create an advanced rule.
