Can I create additional parameters on Events I create?

[j_julio]

Am I limited to just the Parm1 and Parm2 when creating a new event?   I need to capture the "previous" values of 4 four field when an event is triggered and use these values in a subsequent email that is sent when the event is triggered.   Is it possible to create an event that would have Parm1, Parm2, Parm3, Parm4?   If I can't capture these "pervious" values within the event, is there another way to get at these values when the email notification is generated?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion you can provide!

Hi there,

No, not that I am aware of.

Depending on what you are passing, you could add a comma separated list to one of the parm values with the previous values in it and then on the notification, use a bit of script to separate them and do what ever.

The only other way I can think of is to store the previous values in a table somewhere and reference the row.

Thanks Pete.   I give the comma separated list a try.   I appreciate the help.

Peter is correct. You only get 2 events so you have to stuff what you need into the events, then in the notification you can parse out your values with a <mail_script>.

Thanks Justin -- I created an array and threw the previous values into it and then parsed them out.   Thank so much for the response.
