Send email on alarm event – Salto ProAccess

Under the tools menu pick Alarm events

Give the event a useful name and a description if you want.

To start setting up the event in the trigger section click the pencil icon

This particular event I used the Audit trail event

The ‘WHO’ section lets you pick which cardholders and/or operators will trigger the event.

For my event I picked the specific cardholders I wanted and removed ‘Any operators’ from the Operators tab.

The ‘WHERE’ section lets you choose what Access points, nodes, alarm inputs or relays will trigger the event.

For my event I added the access point that I wanted to use and made sure I removed the ‘Any node’, ‘Any alarms input ‘ and ‘Any relays’ from the other tabs to prevent them from triggering the event.

The ‘WHAT’ section has loads of operations to choose from for Access points, nodes, alarm inputs and relays.

For my use I picked ‘Door Opened (Key)’ from the Access point operations list. I also made sure I removed the ‘Any node operations’, ‘Any alarms input operations’ and ‘Any relay operations’ from the other tabs to prevent them from triggering the event.

The ‘WHEN’ section lets you set a from and to time, specific days and which calendar you want it to use for H, S1 and S2 days.

This allows you to only have the event trigger between certain times and only on certain days.

After setting up the trigger section, its time to move on to the actions section.

Click the + icon to add an action

Pick the type of action you want to be performed.

For this event I picked ‘Send e-mail’, picking this gives you a ‘To’, ‘Subject’ and ‘Content’ field
