+== Conditional actions in alerting rules
+
+When creating an {observability} alerting rule, you define conditions that must be met for an alert to occur.
+Now you can also add conditions that affect the actions associated with an alert.
+For example, you might choose to send notifications only if the alert is received between defined hours.
