Creating Automation Rules in AT&T Control Center

Automation rules help you get the most of what AT&T Control Center has to offer. It enable you to ensure service reliability, manage costs, and scale your business faster by programmatically controlling your devices– all without doing any programming. Setting custom rules is quick, easy and can be done right from the Control Center user interface.

From the home screen select the Automation tile.

Click Actions then select Create New.

Select a rule category to view the rule triggers within it.

You can view a complete list of all the rule triggers by clicking on the See All Rule Triggers button.

Click on a rule trigger and select it. Control Center will then prompt you to specify the event information (When this happens…) and the action (Do this…). This goes for any of the rule trigger options.

Enter all event information required for the particular rule trigger. Then select an action and provide any additional information needed for that action.

ACC Tip – Email Addresses/URLs Make sure to crosscheck the data you enter manually. Control Center does not edit the data for proper formatting.

Select the Edit Filters button to specify which devices will be affected by the rule. Control Center populates your filter options based on the rule trigger you select.

Enter values for any of the options you see fit and click Ok to return to the Create New Rule form.

When naming the rule, create one that is descriptive enough that someone with no knowledge of the rule can understand.

Click Activate Rule to save the rule.
