\[meter definition api] ( docid\ i66o22rfpyjunkud2fz6i ) or https //ui amberflo io/meters select the thresholdcondition and set the thresholdvalue at the defined schedule, amberflo calls the docid\ arr7x fdequk7pukn3vu to evaluate the condition against the current usage if the condition is met for a customer, the alert is triggered curl location request post 'https //app amberflo
