Email variable value

Hi,

I am trying to use your plug-in to email the value of a variable.
The action is written as : Address is %%v:Address%

The email comes, but instead of a value, I get %%v:Address%%

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Email variable value

Can you show me a screen grab of that action dialog? What field are you putting that in?

Re: Email variable value

I believe it has to be the variableID for device substitution, not the variable name. That's why the example is all numbers.

Re: Email variable value

What do you mean by variableIID? How is that different from the variable name? How do I find the variableID?

It's the right column of the Variable list. You can get a copy of the number by right clicking on the variable in the list.

Re: Email variable value

Using names is a bad idea because the variable name can change over time which would break your substitution (or any scripts which use the name, etc). All items in Indigo have a unique ID that never changes over the lifetime of the object.
