@ Stuart weenig

Could you please help me the script how to use api to be part of collection script 

Stuart is correct in the method, but I would advise against going this route. I did this exact method while trying to do something very similar and it ended up having mixed results. As Stuart says, the property needs to be there prior to the datapoint reaching its alert threshold, otherwise you will get an out dated item to send.

As for the usecase @Mike Moniz what we needed at the time was environmental monitoring. We wanted a more informed alert. When temp or humidity alerted, we wanted both datapoints to give us an idea of what was going on.
