Option to notify if 0 results success for Rules Engine
I think it would be cool if there was a 3rd option for notifications in Rules. Right now, we provide "On Success" and "On Failure" emails, but what if we did a "On Zero (0) results" option.
My thinking here is, perhaps you consider 0 results a failure. But we treat 0 results as a success. However, most people don't want to get, and don't have the time to parse through, one email for every rule they have for the success emails. Even if they focused solely on the rules that they wanted a success email for capturing 0 results, its still not really a "success".
Also, the look/messaging of the email could be changed to reflect its a run with zero results, therefore bringing attention to a rule that really ran unsuccessfully, potentially because of a failure further up the data chain. This would make sure that we are managing from a true workflow/business process flow standpoint, rather than just individual rules/rule chains.
