Let us take an example of leave request approval. Under HRIS > Cofiguration > Mail Configuration create a template for Leave Request Approved with @@UserName@@ placeholder for employee's name. Now go to HRIS > Configuration > HRIS Notification for binding the template to module and communication mode which is email in this case. Next go to ADMIN > Configuration > Workflow, select Leave Process and at L1 Approval Stage bind the template for Approved Action.
Now when L1 Manager approves an employee's leave a mail will be triggered with @@UserName@@ replaced with employee's Name .
Likewise, there are other placeholders configured which can be used in different mail templates throughout the application.
