What's the difference between an Event alert and a Resource alert?

Event Alert: An Event alert is triggered when a specific event occurs in the Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM application. Event alerts are based on the context provided by the calling client. You can't modify the triggering criteria for notifications.

For example, Time Exceptions from Compliance Rules is a predefined Event alert, which is triggered when compliance exceptions are available. Notifications are sent to managers informing them of the exceptions.

Resource Alert: A Resource alert is triggered when changes occur to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM REST API resources. The resources must be deployed in the environment. You can modify the triggering criteria for notifications by defining filters on the resource attributes, if you have the required privileges to access the REST resources.

For example, Visa Expiration is a sample Resource alert, which is triggered when a worker visa is approaching expiration. You can define a filter on the workers resource for the visa attribute. Notifications are sent to the worker and the manager informing them of visa expiration.
