Entity notifications Copied

When configured to send notifications from an entity (if groups are not set), the default notification message will include:

Group notifications Copied

When configured to send notifications from a group (if groups are set), the default notification message will include:

Custom HTML message body Copied

By default, email alerts use a plain-text layout that includes the notification title, entity dimensions, notification body, and a link to the entity in the Web Console.

You can replace the default layout with your own HTML message body to apply branding, create structured sections, or add links and lists. To use a custom HTML body:

  1. Create an email target and an email notification that uses it.

  2. In the notification configuration window, navigate to the Messages section.

  3. Paste your HTML into the Body. You can use a different HTML per message type.

    Tip

    Use placeholders so the app interpolates them when the message is sent. At runtime, these placeholders are replaced with values from the triggering entity. See message placeholders for the full list.

The example below uses placeholders and can be pasted as the Triggered message body.
