#### Create a trigger action

Create a trigger action that will begin once a trigger (with the word "memory" in its name) from host "10084" goes into a PROBLEM state.
The action will have 4 configured operations.
The first and immediate operation will send a message to all users in user group "7" via media type "1".
If the event is not resolved in 30 minutes, the second operation will run [script](/manual/web_interface/frontend_sections/administration/scripts#configuring-a-global-script) "5" (script with scope "Action operation") on all hosts in group "2".
If the event is resolved, a recovery operation will notify all users who received any messages regarding the problem.
If the event is updated, an acknowledge/update operation will notify (with a custom subject and message) all users who received any messages regarding the problem.

#### Using a custom expression filter

Create a trigger action that uses a custom expression - "A and (B or C)" - for evaluating action conditions.
Once a trigger with a severity higher or equal to "Warning" from host "10084" or host "10106" goes into a PROBLEM state,
the action will send a message to all users in user group "7" via media type "1".
The formula IDs "A", "B" and "C" have been chosen arbitrarily.
