You can select column values in your event alert SQL statement into output variables and use them in the actions/actionsets/responses etc. Here is an example:
Lets say you have created an event alert - AFTER Insert on a table TABLE_A. Your event alert SQL statement will look like this:
SELECT col1, col2, col3
INTO &o_col1, &o_col2, &o_col3
FROM table_a
WHERE ROWID = :ROWID;
&o_col1, &o_col2, &o_col3 are the output variables. Once you save the SQL, you can assign datatype and other properties for these variables in Alert Details.
