How to concatenate two attribute values to set a third attribute value in Insight object

Shaun McGuire

Using Insight Cloud:

I have an Employee ObjectType. I have three field in addition to the standard name field.

First Name

Last Name

Email Address

I am setting up an automation in the Object Schema to do the following:

On CREATION and / or UPDATE of an Employee Object, the name attribute and the email address are updated as follows:

name = (First Name) space (Last Name)

email address = (Firstname).(LastName)@domain.com

When I edit the THEN portion of my automation, I select Action = Atrribute Value and I input the Attribute Name I want to update. I don't know what to put into the Value field. Whatever I enter there just gets input as typed into the Attribute value.

Hi @Shaun McGuire 

You can use placeholders in the automation rule to achieve this, for example, in the Attribute Value action, use the placeholders as follows (as documented here):

Attribute Name: Name

Value: ${First Name} ${Last Name}
