Target Audience

Developers looking to automate SMS alerts based on queue messages.
- System Administrators who want to monitor system metrics and receive notifications.
- Businesses that need a reliable way to communicate critical alerts to their teams via SMS.
- Data Analysts who require real-time notifications for specific data thresholds.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for immediate notifications when a specific threshold is exceeded in a message received from a RabbitMQ queue. By sending an SMS alert through Vonage when the value exceeds 50, users can ensure timely responses to critical changes in their systems or data.

Workflow Steps

Trigger: The workflow starts when a message is received from the RabbitMQ queue named temp.
2. Condition Check: The workflow checks if the value of temp from the RabbitMQ message is greater than 50.
3. SMS Alert: If the condition is met, an SMS alert is sent using Vonage, notifying the user of the current value of temp.
4. No Operation: If the condition is not met, the workflow proceeds to a NoOp node, effectively doing nothing further.

Customization Guide

Change the queue name in the RabbitMQ node to listen to a different source.
- Adjust the threshold value in the IF node to trigger alerts at different levels.
- Modify the SMS message content in the Vonage node to include more details or different formatting.
- Integrate additional nodes for further processing or logging based on the alert condition.
