When you create a notification policy, you can specify a contact group that receives alert notifications. When a dispatch rule of the notification policy is triggered, the alert management module of Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) sends alert notifications to contacts in the specified contact group by using phone calls, text messages, emails, and DingTalk messages.

Prerequisites

A contact is created. For more information, see Create a contact.
