Put elements of the case data into an email message

Supported in:

This is done by using the placeholders in the playbook actions. Placeholders are expressions that reference fields on events, alerts, cases entities and other elements. Placeholders will hold a place for the data that will be extracted when the action actually runs.

To use a placeholder, click data_array next to a text field (for example, the message field in a Send Email action) and select the content you would like to extract when the action runs.
You can string several placeholders in a row to create richer content.
Notice that a placeholder will always begin and end with a square bracket. Inside those brackets will always be the path of the required content. For example, the [Alert.Name] placeholder will check the alert name and put in the message before sending the email.

Placeholders can be used in email templates, allowing you to set a template once, with all the required placeholders and use it when needed (SOAR Settings > Environments > Email Templates).
