Variable Substitution

During a workflows transition, you may want to send an Email to your documentation team and include the the title of the page, the space that it sits in, or even the transitioner. While using actions that require user input in their configuration, it is useful to be able to access variables that are related to the current page.

How to use the variables

The syntax you need to use to access the variables are the same that you may use for a Velocity template e.g. ${page.title}

Here is an example configuration that uses the variables:

Available Actions

  • Modify Page Title

  • Webhooks

    • Can only be used in the JSON payload

  • Comment

  • Email
