Dynamic expressions

Expressions in Dawiso let you combine static text with dynamic values to create content that automatically adapts to context. You can use them in various places, such as email or in-app notifications, or when setting new attribute values through automations.

• Static text: Fixed text that always appears exactly as you write it.
• Dynamic expressions: Placeholders enclosed in curly brackets { } that Dawiso replaces with real data based on the context in which the expression is used.

Dynamic Expression Structure

Mandatory: {{context_variable}.selector()}
Optional: {{context_variable}.selector().function()}

Expression	Description
Context Variables	Context variables identify the source of the data, such as {currentUser} or {comment}.
Selectors	Selectors define what information to retrieve from a context variable, such as a related object (.parent()) or a specific value ( .name(), .link() ). Examples: {{currentUser}.link()} = Returns a hyperlink to the user who was selected in the automation stream., {{currentObject}.parent().link()} = Returns a hyperlink to the parent object.
[Optional] Functions	Functions apply additional processing or formatting to the result of the operation ( .add(x)).
