Variable Substitution

Exactly these six underscore variables are supported. Their values come from the current ticket, agent, or organization:

VariableReplaced 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.
