Understanding the Vocera Outgoing Email Adapter Rules

Rules can be configured to trigger the Vocera Outgoing Email Adapter to send messages through the Vocera Platform.

An Outgoing Email rule can be configured to send email messages to any device that can retrieve and display email. The rule will define the message components and delivery prioritization.

See the Vocera Platform Dataset Guide for information about working with rules. See Configuring a Vocera Outgoing Email Adapter for information about adapter settings.

In the Adapter Settings, configure the Rule Settings fields.
