Alert History

Bolt Data Connect can be configured to send IoT Alerts from the IoT Cloud to Salesforce when certain conditions or signals are received from the connected Things. These IoT Alerts are Platform Events, and can be processed in real time using Process Builders, Flows or Triggers. If you would like to also save copies of these IoT Alerts in Salesforce, simply enable this setting and Bolt Data Connect will automatically save received IoT Alerts in the “IoT Alert History” Object.
