How to setup a single alert rule in ADF to handle multiple pipeline failures such that it dynamically reflects the name of the pipeline which failed ?

Question

Hey,

I want to create an alert rule in ADF to handle multiple pipeline failures. The alert should dynamically reflect the name of the pipeline which failed. I'm trying this approach because I want to avoid creating an alert rule for each pipeline.
Specifically, I want to fetch the failed pipeline's name in the alert description, so that I can get to know about the pipeline when I receive a notification email about the failure.
How do I do this ? Please help. Thanks in advance :)
