Hello Elastic Community,  
I Created a Alert type "_Elasticsearch query_" that looks for a specifc winlog.event\_id:"XXXX"  
and triggers when threshold it is above "x" value. There is a Email connector all this works perfectly.

**the issue:**  
the Message for the Email contains:

```auto
Alert Details:
---------------------
Event Type: {{fields.winlog.event_data.EventID}}
Target User: - {{fields.winlog.event_data.TargetUserName}}
Event Time: {{fields["@timestamp"]}}
Source IP: {{fields.winlog.event_data.SourceIP}}

```

Despite the successful triggering of the alert, the message content does not display the expected data. Instead, the placeholders remain empty.

Where im i Going wrong ?
