-You can <<defining-rules-actions-details,add actions>> to your rule to generate notifications.
+You can optionally send notifications when the rule conditions are met and when they are no longer met.
+In particular, this rule type supports:
+
+* alert summaries
+* actions that run when the threshold is met
+* recovery actions that run when the rule conditions are no longer met
+
+For each action, you must choose a connector, which provides connection information for a {kib} service or third party integration.
+For more information about all the supported connectors, go to <<action-types>>.
+
+After you select a connector, you must set the action frequency.
+You can choose to create a summary of alerts on each check interval or on a custom interval.
+For example, summarize the new, ongoing, and recovered alerts at a custom interval:

+Alternatively, you can set the action frequency such that actions run for each alert.
+Choose how often the action runs (at each check interval, only when the alert status changes, or at a custom action interval).
+You must also choose an action group, which indicates whether the action runs when the threshold is met or when the alert is recovered.
+Each connector supports a specific set of actions for each action group.

-After you choose a connector, you must choose an action group, which affects when the action runs.
-The valid action groups for an index threshold rule are: `Threshold met` and `Recovered`.
-Each connector supports a specific set of actions for each action group. For more details, refer to <<action-types>>.
