Use dynamic variables in email HTML templates

Supported in:

This document explains how to use dynamic variables in email HTML templates to create reusable and customizable email content within Google Security Operations.

Create the email HTML template

You can create the email HTML template with a fixed subject header and title. The {Text} placeholder lets playbook builders manually insert content when they create a new playbook.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Environments > Email HTML templates.
  2. Add a new template and give it a name. For example, Testing Text Option.
  3. In the template body, make sure you include the {Text} placeholder. This placeholder will be replaced with the custom content provided in the playbook.
  4. Click Add.

Add the template to a playbook

  1. In your playbook, drag in a Send Email action.
  2. Choose the specific template: click the list and select Testing Text Option.
  3. In the Content field, enter the body of your email. This content will replace the {Text} placeholder when the playbook runs.
  4. Click Save.
  5. When an alert is ingested into the Google SecOps platform, the playbook runs and triggers an email. The system renders the email template, inserting the content from the Content field into the {Text} placeholder before sending the email to the recipient.
