One main action should be specified for one filter condition.  For sub-action, the specified item should differ depending on the action to be taken.

Main Action

  • To send
    When matching the checking condition of the rule, the mail will be sent.

  • To put on-hold temporarily
    When matching the checking condition of the rule, the mail will be put on-hold temporarily.
    After the designated on-hold period, the mail should be sent automatically. 

  • Approval request
    When matching the checking condition of the rule, the mail should be put on-hold to be processed by the authorizer (the authority with power to approve).

  • To delete
    When matching the checking condition of the rule, the mail should be deleted.

Sub-Action (Possible to be added onto the main action)

  • Delay Time
    When the [Temporarily on-hold] is chosen, please enter the deferrable period.
    Please set up the deferrable period for the mail.
    The default is 5 minutes and possible to set 1-999(min).

Rule Priority
Also, the [Priority] should be set up in the filter.

The rest filtering conditions should not be taken to be judged.

*The lower the number is, the higher the priority goes.
