Introduction

Integration is a continuous process which gives the flexibility to the users to run an integration procedure again and again based on the schedule defined by the user. As the process executes in background without any human intervension, it gives the user a piece of mind such that the data syncs seamlessly. But occassionally there might be a situation where the integration stops all of a sudden and the user who is not regularly monitoring them, does not get any clue about it. This rule will identify any issue in the platform and generate notification based on various parameters, such that any decrepancy could be identified easily.
