Thanks for following up, @SamuelSMendes. I'm glad to hear you are having some progress. There are a few older Discuss and StackOverflow posts that may be useful to take a look at:

- [Watcher with Index Action - Not writing data properly](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/watcher-with-index-action-not-writing-data-properly/232714)
- [mustache - Use input ElasticSearch document fields in Watcher fields - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37294320/use-input-elasticsearch-document-fields-in-watcher-fields)

[This guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/how-watcher-works.html) has also been helpful for me to take a look at in the past as well.
