Orbitera placeholders

Orbitera placeholders are tokens defined in a string that are swapped out for real values prior to being shown to a user. Placeholders make the system more dynamic, by pulling values already stored by Orbitera. The placeholder concept is used in:

  • Account and product callbacks
  • API deployments
  • Script deployments
  • Test Drives

Availabilty differs by component.

Availability codes

  • ACE: Account callback events
  • API: Product API deployment
  • S: Product script deployment (for example: AWS/Cloudformation)
  • T: Test Drives (used in emails generated from Test Drives)
