Accessing Data: Handlebars

The current row data and other details will be available in the hooks payload so the user can use handlebar syntax to use data.

We are using Handlebars library to parse the payload internally.

Example

For a table with column names (id, title, created_at, updated_at).
For INSERT/ UPDATE based triggers, use following handlebars to access corresponding data fields.

• {{ data.id }}
• {{ data.title }}
• {{ data.created_at }}
• {{ data.updated_at }}

Note that, for Update trigger - all the fields in the ROW will be accessible, not just the field updated. For DELETE based triggers, only {{ data.id }} is accessible representing ID of the column deleted.

For all trigger, following user information associated with person trigger can be accessed.

• {{ user.id }} : Unique auto incremented NocoDB system value
• {{ user.email }} : User E-mail.
• {{ user.roles }} : User Role amongst [Owner, Creator, Editor, Commenter, Viewer].

JSON format

Use {{ json data }} {{ json user }} to dump complete data & user information available in JSON format
