**Flexible Actions** automates API and Sensedia API Platform event monitoring, allowing you to define alarms and rules for preventive actions.

Users can create as many alerts as they want.
Notifications are divided between Platform Events and alerts from API monitoring, and classified by criticality (four levels: neutral, success, warning, and critical).

There are four different parameters to **monitor APIs**:

- Total calls
- Availability
- Latency
- HTTP response status

Each alert can be customized for a specific API, including environment, resource, and operation definition.
You can also set the minimum or maximum value that will trigger the alert, as well as the frequency for status checks.

For **Platform Events**, you can monitor changes in the following objects:

|Monitorable objects|
|-------|
|**API**|
| **App**|
| **Certificate**|
| **Custom Java interceptor**|
| **Custom JavaScript interceptor**|
| **Deployment**|
| **Developer**|
| **Environment**|
| **Organization**|
| **Plan**|
| **Revision**|
| **Role**|
| **Team**|
| **User**|

When an alert is triggered, whether from API monitoring or Platform Events, **Flexible Actions** sends a notification by email, Slack, or to a previously registered endpoint—with the possibility to customize the message.
Triggered alerts are also displayed on the **Triggered Alerts** screen and can be searched by tags added to the alert during creation or editing to facilitate searches.

## Menu Options

In addition to a home page with links to other features, **Flexible Actions** includes four pages accessed from the left sidebar menu:

- The **Triggered Alerts** page shows a list of sent notifications.
- The **Platform Events** and **Runtime Alerts** screens show lists of configured alerts and allow the inclusion of new alerts based on monitoring parameters—for Platform Events and API operation, respectively.
- The **Integrations** screen manages integration settings needed for notification actions that require third-party connections:
   - The **WEBHOOK CREDENTIALS** tab manages authentication credentials (client ID/secret) used to send requests to registered endpoints.
   - The **SLACK** tab manages Slack workspaces available for sending notifications.
   - The **PHONE CATALOG** tab manages the list of **WhatsApp** contacts added to receive notifications.
