Hi,

Is there a way to access the placeholders values from a custom notification script?

Background: If I understand correctly, you must pass each placeholder you want to use in your custom notification script as a parameter separately. This can cause the parameter line to be really long and confusing/hard to read.

It would be great if there is a way to pass all the placeholders data using one variable and parse the content within the script. Or even better: All the placeholders could be set as environment variables within the process so the script could access them directly. Maybe there is a way to achieve this already, but I don't know about it. So any help appreciated.

Regards

Hello Sebastian,

Thank you for the post, for custom notification the placeholders you can use are fixed and they are here:

They're used for summarized notifications.

It appears you're looking at the custom EXE/Script place holders from here:

Those need to be defined 1 by 1.
