Hay all

Is it possible in an watcher condition script to set and and if for exanple

alert only if threshold below`max_threshold` but above `min_threshold`

Trying to set the alert to auto close, but not want this action to trigger every time

Hey,

if you are using the `script` based condition, checking for several contents of the payload is not a problem at all. Something like this:

```auto
return ctx.payload.some_value > 1 and ctx.payload.other_value < 10

```

hope this helps!
