Everbridge Parameters
Parameters in the Everbridge system commands are optional key-value pairs. They correspond directly with the form fields of the Operators Form in an Everbridge incident.
Note:
- Keys and values should never contain a comma or colon
- Some scenarios will require parameters to launch
- If the required parameters are not specified, the request will fail
- Everbridge does not completely validate input
- This means it is possible to set some multi-selects and drop-down form values outside of their specified range
- Verify with the Everbridge template as to which values should be specified
