Question: Alert Plus emails: Is there any way to expose the details behind the alert within the email body ie. the announcement, file name or discussion thread subject, etc.?
Answer: On the Mail Format tab of your alert, you can insert special tags in the body of the HTML-based email template. These special tags are replaced with Alert List column values when the message is created and sent.
The format and function of these tags are as follows:
- {sitelink} : Inserts a link to the Site containing the Alert List.
- {itemlink}: Inserts a link to the Item that generated the alert. The link construction method is dictated by the contents of the External Host Path and Item View Link fields on the Mail Format - Options tab.
- {subject} : Inserts the contents of the E-mail Subject field (can only be used in the message body).
- {[Column Display Name]} : Use any Alert List column name to have the Item value for that column inserted. For example: The token {Title} will insert the Item Title value into the message.
- {[Column Display Name]/Old} : Use any Alert List column name to have the Item value for that column inserted. For example: The token {Title/Old} will insert the Item Title value before it was modified into the message.
To use a special content token, simply type the desired token(s) directly into the Message body or Subject fields.
