I have a mail action configured in which the mail body template is fetched from a mustache template. i have placed the template file under config/scripts. but getting ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[Unable to find on disk script MyMailTemplate.mustache] error.

Please let me know what am i missing.

Thanks

The file extension should be left out. So if the file in the script directory is 'MyMailTemplate.mustache' then you should specify 'MyMailTemplate' as file in the watch.
