Empty attributes in the notification email within the ‘Registration Invitation’ action

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to display an account attribute in the notification email within the Registration Invitation action, but it seems impossible to retrieve it. I suspect this might be a bug, because I am able to retrieve the same attribute when sending an email using the standard Notification action.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Yeah — this is very likely expected behavior, not your template syntax.

The Registration Invitation action (Collaboration / NERM) sends a User Invitation-style email that’s rendered with a very limited context (basically the recipient + the registration link), not the richer “workflow notification” context you get from the standard Notification action.

That’s why “account attributes” (or other source-account context) come through empty / unavailable in the Registration Invitation email, while the same attribute works fine in a normal Notification action.

What you can do instead

  1. Copy what you need onto the profile/identity first, then reference that in the invitation email (identity attributes are typically the only “user data” you can count on in invitation templates).

  2. If you must use account attributes: don’t rely on Registration Invitation’s email rendering. Generate the invite/registration link, then send a Notification (or your own email step) where you pass the account attribute in the workflow data payload.
