Hello,  
I'm experiencing the exact problem detailed in the bellow which seems to be closed with no solution.

> Hello all, Brief intro: I'm creating watcher alerts with send email actions. Email fields TO and CC are calculatable, so known only after watch execution and can be transformed before the action. As noted in the documentation here to field can be either array or email address from template [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-email.html#email-action-attributes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/actions-email.html#email-action-attributes) . Am I right, that I have no chance to format an output with Mustache template with several emails to be successful…

I'm running version 2.4.1.

Any news on this?

Thank you.

If you're running Elasticsearch 2.4.1 you must be running Kibana 4.6.?

I've been using watcher since 5.0.0 to email a PDF report with multiple email addresses like this (but I haven't used Mustache templates to build the email list);

```auto
        "actions": {
          "email_admin": {
            "email": {
              "to": ["lee.d@elastic.co","watch-123-test@gmail.com"],

```

The problem is with the Mustache template.

If you'd like to ask about any status updates on it. Or add information.

Thanks,
