I feel like I'm missing a simple step, but is there a simple way to access Mustache variables within an email alert?

Everything I try comes up blank. Do I need to query for these values elsewhere?

Hi @gunlomboy

have you already checked the Watcher execution context and how templates work in the documentation? [How Watcher works | Elasticsearch Guide [7.16] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/how-watcher-works.html#templates)
