I’m trying to set up a notification pipeline that allows me to check for the existence of items in a database and based on values returned from the query, make some decisions on routing the notifications. Is it possible to write to pipeline parameters from a pipeline script? I’m not finding much in the way of documentation on the script block and how it interacts with the pipeline.

Thanks,  
Mike

There have been a lot of updates to alarm pipelines since the last post (7 years ago). Yes, reading and writing from/to alarm event properties is possible. Do you have something specific you're trying to accomplish?

I went a different route, but I wanted to read a query within an alarm pipeline so I could send info out to the SMS from that query. I ended up using a tag event script instead.
