I have 20 Ignition tags configured (booleans). When a tag goes _True_ an alarm pipeline _AlarmActivated_ is enabled. The alarm pipeline _AlarmActivated_ emails a set of individuals, waits 5 minutes, emails a second set of individuals, waits 5 minutes, emails a third set of individuals, waits 5 minutes, emails the third set of individuals again (repeats the last step indefinitely).

That is, there are 3 escalation levels going on.

When the original Ignition tag goes _False_ I call a different alarm pipeline called _AlarmCleared_. This has a single set of emails that gets called.

My problem is people in the second and third set of emails from the pipeline _AlarmActivated_ don't always need to receive the email that the alarm was cleared with the _AlarmCleared_ pipeline.

Is there a way to sync up the alarm pipelines so that the _AlarmCleared_ pipeline knows what escalation level was achieved in the _AlarmActivated_ pipeline?

The associated data I have available with each ignition tag is _Area_, _Subject_, _Message_, and _UnitDescription_. I was thinking I could add another piece of associated data called _EscalationLevel_ and have the pipeline _AlarmActivated_ write whatever maximum escalation level was achieved but I don't know how to do this.

I am open to any suggestions. Thank you in advance.
