Mustache Templates

When using templates, the top level refers to a property of the message object. For example, msg.payload would be accessed as {{payload}}.

You can also access flow, global, and states contexts with the following syntax:

• flow context: {{flow.foobar}}
• global context: {{global.something}}
• states context: Use {{entity.domain.entity_id}} to get the state, or drill further down with {{entity.light.kitchen.attributes.friendly_name}}.

Note:

• {{entity.light.kitchen}} and {{entity.light.kitchen.state}} are equivalent.

By default, Mustache will replace certain characters with their HTML escape codes. To prevent this, use triple braces: {{{payload}}}.

Warning

Mustache templates are ideal for handling strings. However, if you need to insert a JSON object, consider using a JSONata expression or handling it with a function node and passing it as an input.
