These variables are available for use in snippets, as well as when sending a reply or SMS message with an automated action or using a web hook action. The variables are automatically replaced with the relevant value for the particular ticket.

NOTE: the variables used in email templates and portal templates are different from these. If you can't find the template variable you need by looking through the existing templates, please contact us at support@deskpro.com.

A typical simple use case is to start a message with

Dear Name


where 'Name' is the actual name of the user.

The format for a variable is:

{{ XXX }}


To start a message with the user's name:

Dear {{ ticket.person.display_name }} 

By using more variables and custom fields, you can build up a complicated personalised reply.
