The full placeholder reference

Plan requirement

The placeholders you will actually use, grouped by what they carry, with the pairs that are easy to confuse marked.

About the ticket

  • Ticket ID and title. For references and subject lines.
  • Description. The first message.
  • Status, priority, type, group. Current values.
  • URL. A link to the ticket. Note there is an agent version and a customer version, and sending the wrong one gives your customer a page they cannot open.
  • Due date, for task tickets.

About the comments

The group that needs the most care.

  • Latest comment. Whatever was added last, including an internal note.
  • Latest public comment. The safe one for customer messages.
  • All comments and all public comments. The whole thread, in the same pairing.

Each also comes in a formatted and an unformatted variant. In an HTML email the unformatted one loses your line breaks.

About the people

  • Requester: name, first name, email, language, organisation.
  • Assignee: name and first name, for signing off as whoever is handling it.
  • Current user, whoever caused the update.
  • Organisation name and its custom fields.

About satisfaction

Rating, comment, and the survey link. Used almost exclusively in the satisfaction request message.

The three to double check

  1. Latest comment against latest public comment. Internal notes to customers.
  2. Agent URL against customer URL. A link that only works for staff.
  3. Requester name when there is no name. Empty, so write around it.
