Along with the latest feature release, Context Variables, we are excited to introduce support for variables in notifications to the Rule Engine.
Overview
Variables in Notifications is a new feature that enables you to include the value of a variable directly in a notification. Paired with the new context variables, you can now have notifications that include the name and value of the event that triggered the rule.
Variables are a Premium feature.
If you are using the free tier, please let us know if youโd like us to reset your trial.
How to Include Variables in Notifications
Supported in all notifications channels, user can tap the button or use the special {{$variableId}}
syntax to insert both Custom or Context variable(s) in notification content. This is very helpful if you want to include the triggering device/variable name or its value in the notification content.
Use Case and Rule Example
Get a notification and know which door was opened
