Add automatic variables to Workflow content templates

Add "automatic variables" (Velocity variables, similar to $action, but maybe $turbo) to Workflow content templates that would provide:

  • the name of the policy that fired the workflow
  • the execution step of the policy that fired the webhook
  • the name of the workflow that generated the webhook
  • any other Turbo metadata that would be useful

If these were provided to the template as Velocity variables, it would allow you to include those in the webhook payload. Probably not useful for the target system, but it could be very useful if you need to do any debugging (especially if one workflow is attached to multiple policies)

Something like:

  • $turbo.Policy                                (name of the policy that fired the workflow)
  • $turbo.PolicyExecutionStep     (onGeneration|beforeExecution|onExecution|afterExecution)
  • $turbo.Workflow                         (name of the workflow that fired the webhook)
