Time in alert Alias

[Paweł Grams]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure e-mail integration in Opsgenie so it will group all alerts matching some criteria in daily "threads". 

In Jira there's a way to use smartvalue {{now.shortDate}} to get today's date. Is there any options to get system to add date in Opsgenie Alias?

Hi @Paweł Grams ,

There are some extra fields not included with the Email integration by default, but specifically parse in the headers of the payload - including the date:

Since it's nested under the headers, you could use something like this to extract it into the alert:

{{_headers.DATE}}

As well use some form of string processing or regex to pull only the date, or fine-tune exactly what you need to extract into the alias or other alert fields.

Hi @Nick H 

Thank you for this response. It's great I can access headers data as it will improve our ways of working with Opsgenie a lot!

Thank You!
