Define Monitor Item Condition Options

Use the Conditions page to control the conditions that determine whether the associated actions are executed. The actions are executed only if all of the options selected on this page are true.

To define Monitor Item conditions:

Define the conditions that determine if the associated actions are executed.

Existing record found Select this check box to have associated actions executed if an existing record is found (using the options selected on the ID Existing Record page).
Expression

Applies an Expression against an existing record that CSM finds.

  • Stored Expression: Select the ellipses button to open the Expression Manager, and then select an existing stored Expression or create a new stored Expression. Stored Expressions can be reused in numerous places in CSM.
  • Custom Expression: Select the Custom Expression button to open the Custom Expression Builder, and then create a custom Expression specifically for this scenario.
Note: If this option is selected, actions are executed only if an existing record is found and the Expression is true.
Customer found

Associates actions are executed if a customer is identified (using the options selected on the Identify Customer page in the E-mail Event Monitor window).

Note: If a default customer is specified, that counts as having found a customer.
Field/Operator/Value

Select these check boxes to have associated actions executed if the specified fields and values are found.

  • Field drop-down list: Select a part of the email message (example: Subject and Body Combined) to search.
    Note: Some field options seem similar, but produce different results when searching for matched values.

    For example, if you select the From field, validation is performed against a concatenation of the user's name and email address (e.g. "(Henri Bryce) [email protected]"). If you want the validation to run against a name or email address only, choose From (just name) or From (just address).

  • Operator drop-down list: Select an operator.
    • Equals: Finds email items where value in field equals value in right-most drop-down list.
    • Not equal: Finds email items where value in field does not equal value in right-most drop-down list.
    • Like: Finds email items where the value matches the value and its wildcard in the right-most drop-down list. For example, Jo% will find Joe, John, etc.
      Note: Use % or * as the wildcard character. For example, enter John% to find all email items that start with "John." Do not use the wildcard character at the beginning of the string if it can be avoided (i.e., %SON), because the underlying database query will be very slow.
    • Not like: Finds all email items that do not match a value and its wildcard.
    • Empty: Finds all email items where the field value is empty.
    • Not empty: Finds all email items where the field value is not empty.
    • Greater than: Finds all email items where the value is greater than the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Greater or equal: Finds all email items where the value is greater than or equal to the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Less than: Finds all email items where the value is less than the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Less or equal: Finds all email items where the value is less than or equal to the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Contains: Does a SQL Server Full-Text search to find email items that contain the text in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Does not contain: Finds email items that do not contain the text in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Begins with: Finds email items that begin with the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Ends with: Finds email items that end with the value in the right-most drop-down box.
    • Is: Finds email items where the value in the field is an exact match to the value in the right-most drop-down box.
  • Value: Provide a keyword or phrase, select a date/time, etc.
Note: The operators and values vary depending on the fields chosen. For example, if Has Attachments is selected in the Field drop-down list, then the available operators are Equals or Not Equals, and the available values are True or False.
