About

## When to send it

Send it when an account is signed in to from a new device. It lists when, on what and roughly where, says there is nothing to do if it was them, and offers one button for when it was not.

Values

## What each send fills in

Required values have to come with every send. The rest fall back to the default shown here.

| Placeholder | Kind | Required | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `{{productName}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{when}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{device}}` | Text | Required | None |
| `{{location}}` | Text | Optional | Unknown |
| `{{actionUrl}}` | Link | Required | None |
| `{{footerNote}}` | Text | Optional | You are receiving this because it affects your account security. |
