I am trying to figure out alert action that when a node is placed in a group I have a custom property filled in with that group name. How would I go about this if its even possible. Thanks!!!
Hello @cwjohnson3rd
If I understood your question properly, this is what you are looking for.
1. Alerts & Activity -> Message Center, When a node is added and they forget to add the group name value on custom property that you have created, it will appear under Audit Events.
It would look like this -> User Admin/Username changed custom property 'GroupName' to '' on node ABCXYZ
" -> means that value is not filled and that field was left empty/blank.
If value for the custom property is filled then it would look like -> User Admin/Username changed custom property 'GroupName' to 'Network/Switch/Whatever' on node ABCXYZ
2. How to create an Alert on a Audit Event is mentioned in the below link:

3. Sample test alert will look like what's mentioned below, suite yourself and make the necessary changes to the trigger condition as required.
Hope it helps.
But then if you are looking for an event when a node was added to a Group, you have similar Audit events called:
Group Member definition added
Group Member definition deleted
Group Member definition changed
Note: But this audit event will not capture the 'Node Name' rather it will capture the 'Node id' in the audit event.
Thanks, this is a most detailed answer. This will help a lot going forward.
