{{Data.}}

Refers to HelloID's internal model of the current target account. Returns the values you wrote into $outputContext.Data or $account depending on the target system:

  • $outputContext.Data (PowerShell v2 target systems)

  • $account (AD, AzureAD, Powershell v1 target system)

Note

To access previous account data ($outputContext.PreviousData), use {{PreviousData.}}. For example: {{PreviousData.UserName}}.

{{Manager.}}

Refers to HelloID's internal model of the manager of the current target account. Returns the following:

Note

  • The $manager object is only available if the manager's target account was provisioned before the person's target account. If the manager's account was provisioned after the user's account, this variable won't resolve.

  • To access target account data for the current person's manager in a different target system, instead use the syntax {{Manager.Accounts.<SystemIdentifier>.<SharedFieldName>}}. For example: {{Manager.Accounts.MicrosoftActiveDirectory.displayName}}.

{{Person.}}

Refers to the current person's object, prior to transformations applied in target mappings or account scripts. Returns the following:

Warning

To display account information from the system that triggers the notification, use {{Data.}} instead.

{{Person.Accounts.}} only contains fields that are shared from other target systems with the Share account fields between target systems feature and saved in HelloID. These fields may not be up-to-date or even available, if the system that the notification is for is not dependent on the other system. For details, see Use shared fields in notifications.

Event-specific variables

A handful of event-specific variables such as {{differences}} and {{SummaryHtml}} are also available in notifications. These are described in Notification events.
