Using Placeholders in Zendesk Email Autoreplies
What placeholders can I use in Zendesk email autoreplies?
Zendesk email autoreplies support several placeholders to customize the email content.
The required placeholder is{{autoreply.article_list}}, which adds a list of up to three articles that match the request. Optional placeholders include{{autoreply.first_article_body}}, which renders the first matching article in full HTML, and{{autoreply.article_count}}, which allows you to customize the email based on the number of articles returned.
These placeholders help tailor the autoreply to better address the user's query.
