Hi all  
I want to format the mail that when SIEM or system monitor send mail there will be some information that i can see so i dont really have to access SIEM app to see them.  
From what i know the watcher has that format but i dont know fi the mail action has them.  
I have tried `{{context.user.name}}` to get the user.name field in the mail but no luck so far.

Thanks for your time.
