custom notifications

We are running PRTG Network Monitor 22.4.81.1532. I am working on a custom powershell notification to send information a different ticketing software. The powershell script is getting info to the other system, but some of the information I'm trying to send isn't working.

I've been using the command line paramters located here https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/custom_sensors to define the information I am sending.

Is there a way to see what is sent as part of the custom notification operation like you can with custom sensors?

Second question: I have to equate devices in PRTG to the alternate system. Is there something I can add to PRTG devices that I can send on those notification templates? I was thinking %scriptplaceholder1 would be viable, but that doesn't seem to be sending.

It took me a bit, but I came up with a solution.

To answer these out of order... https://ec2-prtg2.tnt.local/help/list_of_placeholders_for_notifications.htm was the list I used to find different possible parameters.

To add custom text stored somewhere in PRTG that links the two platforms together, I used comments.

%commentsdevice and %commentssensor ended up being the best ones.
