    About this task

    Starting from the Xanadu release, the OOTB (Out-Of-The-Box) rules provided with the connector, which you have not previously used (i.e., neither activated, deactivated, nor modified), will now have theApply additional matching rulescheck box set to true. Previously, this check box was disabled. This change allows you to execute more event rules or automation using the same filter conditions for the connector.
    Note:
    This feature applies only to active event rules.
