Variable Substitution
Exactly these six underscore variables are supported. Their values come from the current ticket, agent, or organization:
| Variable | Replaced With |
|---|---|
{{customer_name}} | Customer's display name |
{{customer_email}} | Customer's email address |
{{ticket_id}} | Ticket ID |
{{ticket_subject}} | Ticket subject line |
{{agent_name}} | Current agent's name |
{{company_name}} | Organization's name |
Unsupported or malformed placeholders, including historical custom-variable rows, may remain visible and editable in Settings but cannot be inserted. Missing values also fail closed.
