Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of issues with setting up "Message Placeholders"?? I followed the steps, refreshed, logged out, then back in but nothing happens. Not sure what Im doing wrong. Ive attached a screenshot.

Do you use the standard {Sheet Name - Column Name} ? Or do use a simple name that can be easily identified? Or Do you use abbreviations? Im curious and would like to know your approach, Im hoping I could learn a lot from your experience.
