Google Chat Templates

Eliona offers the possibility to customize individual templates for Google Chat notifications. These templates define what the text style, structure, and content of the notification look like.

Twig Templating in Eliona

1. Customize template: Navigate to your Google Chat template and click on .

2. Override standard:

   • Activate the "Override standard" option to make individual changes to the template.
