About Percent Variables
Percent variables allow you to customize the message notification sent from an action.
These variables can be used in all of the WhatsUp Gold actions, though we do not
recommend that you use them in the Active Script Action, as they may cause the action's
code to break.
Percent Variables
You can customize an action's message by adding any of the percent variables in the
following table.
Note: We do not recommend that you use percent variables in script text (Active Script
Action), because they may resolve to text containing special characters (' ' (quotes), " "
(double-quotes), % (percent), new line characters, and the like) that may break your script.
