Use dynamic variables in email HTML templates

This document explains how to use dynamic variables in email HTML templates to create reusable and customizable email content within Google Security Operations SOAR.

Create the email HTML template

You create the email HTML template with a fixed subject header and title, then use the {Text} as a placeholder for content that the playbook builder then adds manually when creating a playbook. 

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Environments > Email HTML templates.
2. Add a new template and give it a name. For example, Testing Text Option. In the template body, ensure you include the {Text} placeholder. This placeholder will be replaced with the custom content provided in the playbook.
3. Click Add.

Add the template to a playbook

1. GIn your playbook, drag in a Send Email action.
2. Choose the specific template: click the list and select Testing Text Option.
3. In the Content field, enter the body of your email. This content will replace the {Text} placeholder when the playbook runs.
4. Click Save.
5. Once an alert is ingested into the Google SecOps SOAR platform and the playbook runs, the system renders the email template, inserting the content from the Content field into the {Text} placeholder before sending the email to the recipient.
