i have configure watcher in kibana to notify me via email if there are ERROR in log level. for couple indices.

```auto
input": {
"search": {
"request": {
"search_type": "query_then_fetch",
"indices": [
"xxxx.-*"
],
"types": [],
"body": {
"size": 0,
"query": {
"match": {
"log-level.keyword": "ERROR" }}}}} 

```

Email actions code is below

```auto
"email_admin": {
"email": {
"profile": "standard",
"to": [
"chandrakant.rvce@gmail.com"
],
"subject": "Encountered {{ctx.payload.hits.total}} Infos",
"body": {
"html": "Too many log-level ERROR found in logs" }}} 

```

As part of the email i want to send the message field for the ERROR. How do i do it ?

Hello,

Please take a look at this discuss post - [Include Fields in Watcher Email Alert - #5 by MultiplierMultiplier](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/include-fields-in-watcher-email-alert/115700/5)

You need to include ctx.payload

Thanks,  
Bhavya
