Dynamic Maintenance Fields in Subjects of Emails

How to use maintenance-related dynamic fields in the subject lines of email templates

Written by Jimmy Chowdhury

Dynamic fields let you automatically insert specific data into emails.

For example:

  • [[tenant.firstname]] inserts the tenant’s first name.

  • [[maintenance_request.subject]] inserts the subject of a maintenance request.
