Availability in custom event triggers

Custom events can be created with the newevent parameter on the {trigger} macro (see: Triggers for details). Availability of event references in custom events (their triggers and actions) depends on whether the reference is event specific or not.

Reference availabilityUse in custom events?
all events(tick)
specific event(s)(error)

In cases where a reference will not be available, you could use the {set-metadata} macro in the original event trigger to store the value as metadata, and then retrieve it in the custom event trigger using Metadata references. Alternatively, you could use other types of value reference, such as Attribute References or Supplier References, to retrieve the data by ohter means.

Be mindful of the possibility that the original event could occur again, causing the previous value to change prior to the custom event trigger being able to process it. This is a particularly important consideration when using queued trigger actions. If there is a risk of this happening, you should take measures to prevent the original event from happening until after the custom event trigger has been processed. For example, you could use the {set-state} macro in the original event trigger to transition to a temporary state with no Transitions, and then use it again as the last action in the custom event trigger to transition back to the normal workflow.
