Extra Template Placeholders
Last updated : 14th April 2025
There are some extra placeholders that are available for all Templates, to return information about the current user, or current date and time, but these must be added manually
Tip
These placeholders must be typed in but can be used on all types of template.
Regardless of the type of template you are creating, you can include placeholders to return information about the current user, the current date and so on. For these placeholders to work, it’s important that the correct syntax is used when typing in the information.
The table below shows the options available and the syntax that must be used. You must include the @ symbols.
