You can specify text for the following notification actions:
The notification text can be in any language and contain any characters.
If the Notify by SMS action is selected, it is not advisable to specify a long text. If you select the Send a request action, you should enter the request parameters in the notification text. In addition to the parameters, you can enter text using URL encoding. If you use this action together with others (for example, notify by email or SMS), the same text is generated for all the notifications.
You can add tags to the text. These are keywords which are converted to the values to which they correspond when the notification is triggered. For example, the text "%UNIT% violated speed limits and at %POS_TIME% it was moving at a speed of %SPEED% near '%LOCATION%'" is converted to "Rover119 violated speed limits and at 2022-05-01 12:01: 37 was moving at a speed of 156 km/h near the 'KU 8, Thurnau, DE'. To add a tag to the text, click on it or enter it manually.
The units of measurement (kilometres or miles) used to decipher the tags depend on the settings of the resource to which the notification belongs. The date and time format is taken from the settings of the resource creator.
