An administrator is trying to configure an action-based notification in VCF Operations.

The administrator must configure a Webhook Notification plug-in. Action-based notifications in VCF Operations are tied to Workload Placement actions, where the notification is sent when a workload-placement action succeeds, fails, or times out. Broadcom’s documentation for creating notification rules for notification type Action identifies this workflow as Workload Placement action-based notification. ( TechDocs ) For outbound delivery, the required plug-in type is the Webhook Notification plug-in, which is the supported outbound mechanism for sending action notification payloads to an external endpoint. Broadcom’s outbound plug-in documentation describes adding a Webhook Notification plug-in instance so alert or event data can be sent outside the operations platform. ( TechDocs ) A Log File plug-in is not used for action-based notification delivery. “SMTP Trap” is not the correct VCF Operations outbound plug-in type; email uses Standard Email, and trap delivery would be SNMP-oriented. Standard Email is valid for alert-style notification workflows, but WLP action-based notification requires Webhook.
