Hi,  
I have set a watcher alert

 ![Cattura](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/9/294b5246e2536d06eda2aabe7914d63584c2df1b.png)

that is trigger when a field inside my index is over a threshold.  
How can I integrate in my mail alert the value of another field in the index.

For example, a mail like:  
The document with id=1 has a field X over threshold.

Hi @accateo,

I do not believe that the source documents are available using the threshold alert Watch that it looks like you are creating, but you should be able to create a custom watch for this. Here is the documentation for accessing search results directly using a custom watch: [Watcher search input | Elasticsearch Guide [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/input-search.html#_accessing_the_search_results). Please let me know if you are able to use this.

Thanks!
