What are 'People' and 'Group' Event "Triggers" and "Actions"?

When using Event Rules in PDK.io, there are several different Triggers and Actions available for use. Below is a list of both the 'Trigger' and 'Action' available.

Trigger Types

Below are the Trigger Types available for use with Event Rules in PDK.io.

• When Allowed - This rule will be processed when a 'Credential Input' event produces an 'Access Allowed' result.
• When Denied (Explicit) - This rule will be processed when a Credential entry is denied due to the door/device being in a Do Not Disturb state.
• When Denied (No Rules) - This rule will be processed when a Credential entry is denied due to there not being an Allow rule configured for the timeframe when the credential was processed.
• Always (Valid Credentials) - This rule will be processed when any Credential entered into the system is processed, regardless of access being allowed or denied.
• On Multiswipe Allow (# Swipe) - This rule will be processed when a physical Credential is scanned a number of times (2, 3, or 4) in rapid succession on a reader.
• On Duress - This rule will be processed when a Duress PIN is entered on a keypad reader.
• On Anti-passback Violation - This rule will be processed when an Anti-Passback rule triggers a violation for the Person.

Action Types

Below are the Action Types available for use with the Event Rules.

• Send Email - Selecting this action will allow an email or SMS text message to be sent to the specified email address(es) (or phone numbers) using the pre-configured email template. For more information regarding using the Send Email feature, refer to our article about 'How to use the Email Template with Event and System Event rules'.
• Do Not Disturb - This action toggles the Target door/device into the 'Do Not Disturb' state (if not in this state) or out of the 'Do Not Disturb' state (if in this state). While in the Do Not Disturb state, the door/device will be locked and access attempts will be rejected until the Do Not Disturb state is toggled/canceled.
• Force Toggle - This action toggles the current state of the relay for the Target door/device and maintains this new state until another Force Toggle command is sent. 
  For example, if the Target door/device is unlocked/activated, a 'Force Toggle' command will lock/deactivate the door/device, and then further normal access attempts will be rejected until another Force Toggle command is sent.
• Force Open - This action set the relay for the Target door/device to an unlocked/activated state and will remain in this state until a Force Toggle command is sent.
• Force Close - This action set the relay for the Target door/device to a locked/deactivated state and will remain in this state until a Force Toggle command is sent.
• Open - This action will unlock/activate the Target door/device until another command that will lock/deactivate the door/device, such as Close, Delay Close, and Open/Close.
• Close - This action will lock/deactivate the Target door/device until another command that will lock/deactivate the door/device, such as Open, Delay Close, and Open/Close.
• Lockdown On - This action toggles the Target door/device into a 'Do Not Disturb' state. While in the Do Not Disturb state, the door/device will be locked and access attempts will be rejected until the Do Not Disturb state is toggled/canceled.
• Lockdown Off - This action will clear a 'Do Not Disturb' state on the door/device and return the door/device to it's default state.
• Delay Open - This action causes the Target door/device to unlock/activate after the Delay time listed.
