Question
An administrator would like to create a Playbook where VM protection has failed for VMs in category: CriticalApps:Alerts.

Explanation
An Alert-based trigger in Nutanix Playbooks fires automatically when a specific alert condition is detected. It allows you to filter by alert type (e.g., 'VM Protection Failed') and apply criteria such as a specific entity category (CriticalApps:Alerts), ensuring only VMs in that category trigger the playbook. Once triggered, the playbook action can send a notification to on-call personnel. A Manual trigger (A) requires human initiation and cannot fire automatically on alerts. An Alert Matching Criteria trigger (B) is not a distinct trigger type in Nutanix Playbooks - alert filtering is done within the Alert-based trigger configuration. An Event-based trigger (C) is used for infrastructure events (like VM creation or deletion), not alert conditions.
