Alarm Notification
Alarms may also generate notifications that are delivered to users. This allows Ignition to immediately communicate events and problems to your users. The Notification system has access to Ignition's Authentication Profiles, so users can easily be added to notification rosters. Schedules can be created, which in turn allows users to receive notifications only when on-schedule, so there is no need to worry about notifying a supervisor or manager in the middle of the night.

Using Alarm Notification Pipelines
The Alarm Notification Pipeline feature is an innovative tool that lets you easily create routes for your alarms. By designing your own alarm notification routing, you have control of what happens when an alarm goes active, when an alarm is sent out, and who receives the alarm notification.
The alarm notification pipeline has a simple drag-and-drop interface so you can build various types of alarm logic. Its built-in pipeline block functionality lets you delay sending alarm notifications, escalate higher priority alarms to a different group of users, consolidate multiple alarms so recipients aren’t flooded with messages, and distribute specific alarm types to different contact groups.
Alarm notification pipelines can be very simple to very complex. In this simple notification pipeline, when an alarm is triggered, the people listed in the On-call Roster are notified via Email. If no one acknowledges the alarm in 20 seconds, the alarm notification is routed back to the same people listed in the On-call Roster.

In this more complex alarm notification pipeline, if an operator doesn't respond to the alarm after three attempts, the pipeline jumps it to another pipeline (possibly an escalation pipeline).
