Key ideas

The handful of ideas that make the rest of Rellova easy: workspaces, roles, drafts, values and runs.

Values in messages

Anywhere an automation writes text (an email, a chat message, a spreadsheet row) you can use values in double curly brackets. When it runs, each value is replaced:

  • Form answers: {{full_name}}, {{email}}, by the field’s id.
  • Built-in values: {{today}}, {{now}}, {{time}}, {{workflow_name}}, {{run_id}} and {{logo_url}}.
  • Results of earlier steps: {{previous.sent}}, {{steps.approval.decision}}.

You rarely need to type them: the builder lists every value you can use, and a click inserts one. See Values and step results.
