"Email Template Binding Variables" to update the email with Year as current year in Campaigns

[Arpit_Tiwari]

Hi Team,

1. Can you please help me to share the "Email Template Binding Variables" to update the email with Year as current year.

for e.g. I am going to configure below email notification for Campaign creation, but the subject line is having 2024 as the year and also it is there in email content. 

Could you please help me to know the variable which will automatically generate the current execution year so we don't need to "Edit" the email template every year.

Subject : Campaign 2024

Dear Reviewers,

We kindly inform you that the 2024 Campaign starts today.

Kind regards,

Saviynt Team

2. Can we send email reminder on adhoc basis once the Campaign is launched? This is required for the case where we utilized all 5 reminders which are OOTB available in Saviynt but still in the running campaigns certifiers have not completed their review and also want to avoid manual reminder. In such case, we still need to send additional reminders to them which are not configured in the system.

thanks

Arpit

@Arpit_Tiwari ,

Can you try using the below variable?

${Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR)}

This should work

Also, OOTB campaign configurations do not allow more than 5 reminders. You can raise an idea in the ideas portal of Saviynt for an OOTB solution.

Alternately, you can leverage the use of analytics to send out notifications to managers.

If the requirement is to print the current year, you can try retriving the year using java methods and format it to get only year.

Sample:
${new Date()}
${Calendar.getInstance().getTime()}
${Calendar.getInstance().getTime().format('yyyy-MM-dd')}
