Questions about this workflow
Does muting a monitor schedule an automatic unmute?
The listed action mutes a monitor. No automatic unmute behavior is specified, so plan to unmute separately when appropriate.
Can Notis select a monitor by guessing from the service name?
The instruction and email should identify the intended monitor well enough to avoid muting the wrong one.
