Webtags in custom alarm emails?

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Webtags in custom alarm emails?

Post by Ulric2 »

I'm tinkering with custom alarms and I'd like to get webtag values inserted into emails. I've tried putting the standard webtag notation into the email text but that doesn't seem to work. I just get the raw webtag in the text of the message. e.g. "SolarRad = <#SolarRad>" What am I missing?

Nothing. You cannot use web tags in user defined email messages. However, as per the settings page you can use {0} to represent the value that triggered the alarm.
