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 “LastMile_11 violated speed limits and at 2023-04-01 12:01: 37 was moving at a speed of 95 mph near ‘7 Winchester Dr, Morton Grove, IL 60053’. To add a tag to the text, click on it or enter it manually.

A tag must be marked with a percent sign on both sides. Otherwise, it is considered as plain text and is not replaced by real values.
