I created an Alarm Pipeline and when the tag goes outside its set point it sends an email no problem, the issue I’m having is it sends a ton of alarm emails at every value change when alarm is active, is there a delay I can set to make it send emails out every 5 minutes that the alarm is active until acknowledged? I need it to send to all users at once as well. Thanks.
