I want to send email to multiple people based on some condition I want to change the recipient when some alert is triggered.
Can anyone have any idea how to achieve this?

I think that it is better to embed an email address in an alert query instead of an alert setting.

alert setting
$results.your_email_addr$

Use LOOKUP as a general method.
Can not make the file a LOOKUP file?

Is there any other way than using lookup?

Although it is possible to index a file as a log and join it, it is not much different from using LOOKUP.

After that, I think that you can do anything by creating a custom command, but I can not recommend it.
