## Usage

When crafting your workflows you can use any of the fields above using templating in any workflow field. Encapsulate you fields using double opening and closing curly brackets.

### Examples

#### Using Label Values

You can access label values by `alert.labels.*`

```
message: "Pod Crashed - Pod: {{ alert.labels.pod_name }} Namespace: {{ alert.labels.namespace }}"
```
