Azure Pipeline - Powershell Task Output

Hello all,

I am looking to leverage Azure Pipelines to replace an existing scheduled task that I have running on an on-premise server.  Today, my script connects to a SQL database using the dbatools PowerShell module, runs a few queries, and dumps the files to a specific file format.  Then uploads these files to an SFTP server.  

My repository contains the SQL files to run, the Get-Data.ps1 script that connects to the database, retrieves the data, and exports it to the format necessary.  I also have a Send-Data.ps1 which takes the files created from Get-Data.ps1 and SFTPs them to an SFTP server.

I've got 1 PowerShell script to retrieve and output the data to files, and another to SFTP the files to an SFTP server.

My Send-Data.ps1 script has 3 parameters - localpath, remotepath and credential.  I am curious how I could have the Get-Data.ps1 script write as output the data required for "localpath" parameter, and then pass this to the Send-Data.ps1 as a 2nd task in the pipeline?

Additionally, is there a recommended way to pass credentials into PowerShell scripts in a pipeline?  I saw where I can leverage the library to store a username and password to pass into a script.  But this isn't a PSCredential object.  Would I do this by using Azure Keyvault?  Could I do it using the library and the inline script part of the pipeline?  Or read it in from the key vault/library, create the PSCredential object, store that as a variable(?) and pass it into the PowerShell script task?

Thanks in advance for any input.
