A Custom Message on an Alert can use Variables that will pull information from the system and place it into the message. Using a Variable allows for the Communication/Message to be used multiple times
Example: Using the "~NAME" Variable, allows the user to edit the Alert name at anytime and that new name will be sent out on the Message without having to update the Communication.
The Table below lists all of the available Variables along with the information that will be sent.
