Enter the details.
- Notification Recipient: The Salesforce user who will receive the notifications.
- Threshold: The percentage of the rate limit that, once exceeded in the specified notification interval, triggers a notification to be sent to the specified user. Value must be between 0 and 100.
- Notification Interval (Hours): The time period for which the number of
requests is measured, in hours. For example, if the interval is 24, the
rate must be exceeded in the past 24 hours for a notification to be
sent.
If you change the time period, the new time period does not take effect until after the next notification of the existing time period. For example, assume you have set the time period to send notifications every hour. Then at 4:05 p.m., you set the time period to send notifications every 24 hours. A last notification from the old time period is sent at 5:00 p.m. The next notification would be sent at 5:00 p.m. the next day.
