Investigation: Scripted alerts already support multiple input parameters

[Copilot]

This PR documents the investigation into supporting multiple input parameters for scripted alerts.

Findings

The system already supports passing multiple input parameters through the existing $input parameter mechanism in alert functions. No code changes were needed.

Original Approach (Reverted)

Initially attempted to add explicit typed parameters to alert functions, but this was unnecessary as:

• The existing $input parameter (aliased from InputValue) already handles multiple configuration values as properties of an object
• The parameter filtering in Push-ExecScheduledCommand.ps1 (lines 152-165) already supports passing any parameters through PowerShell's parameter discovery and splatting
• Alert functions can already accept complex objects with multiple properties via the $input parameter

Current Usage

Multiple input parameters are already supported by passing them as properties in the $input object:

Get-CIPPAlertExpiringLicenses -InputValue @{ 
    ExpiringLicensesDays = 30
    ExpiringLicensesUnassignedOnly = $true 
}

The timer infrastructure (Push-ExecScheduledCommand.ps1) converts parameters from JSON and splats them to alert functions, which can access multiple configuration values through the $input parameter.

Conclusion

No changes required - the functionality already exists in the current implementation.

Original prompt

can you please follow the clode flow the the timer that starts the scripted alerts and understand what needs to be chnaged for them to support more than the current 1 input object so scripts can have multiple inputs not just the 1 aliased input.

@copilot ther eis no need to update the tests, no need to make documentation and no need to add explicid params where its already handled by $input

Reverted all changes in commit d88e019. The explicit parameters, tests, and documentation have been removed as the system already handles multiple inputs through the $input parameter.
