Dynamic Variables

Dynamic Variables in Ideanote act as a seamless connector, linking your data with the content of your emails or specific fields.

Dynamic Variables are simple, plain text language that’s placed between sets of double braces {{ }}, also called a mustache. It’s made up "entities" like sessionUser or workspace (the pieces of data you wish to display) and attributes, separated by a dot.

You can use Dynamic Variables in parts of the interface and in automations to power real-time data enriched experiences.

In the interface you can e.g. use "Hello {{ sessionUser.name }}!" in a Form Field description or a View notice to greet a visiting user by their name. Just try typing in any part of the interface {{ to see which Dynamic Variables are available.

Similarily, within Ideanote automations you can use a wide range of Dynamic Variables depending on the entities you are working with. For example, when working with a comment you'll be able to use e.g. {{ comment.text }} in parts of the automation that let you enter Dynamic Variables. Great use-cases here are using them in Emails, Notifications and Webhook actions.

This is an advanced functionality that require some technical know-how.
