How to use variables in the Email notification

Email templates can contain special variables, which allows a high level of customization.

RMA supports standard Magento Email Template variables, such as {{var logo_alt}}, and supports function calling, like {{var store.getFrontendName()}}, and also adds a set of its own variables.

{{var customer}} - allows access to customer properties;
{{var rma}} - allows access to RMA properties, including custom fields (see below).
{{var getReply()}} - contains a message sent to a customer or staff in RMA discussion.
{{var email_body}} - contains a customized at module helper message

Access to properties is similar to Javascript, with dot (.) operator. For example, if we need to include a customer's name to the notifier, we can write {{var customer.name}}. If RMA contains custom fields, they can be accessed by codes which are found at Sales > RMA > Custom Fields > Dictionaries > Custom Fields > Custom Field edit page > Code, in similar manner - if custom field has code customdate, then the variable will be {{var rma.customdate}}.

The most usable properties are:

{{var store.getName()}} - name of current store
{{var store.getCode()}} - code of current store (e. q. admin for backend, or default for default store)
{{var user.getFirstname()}} - First Name of current agent
{{var user.getLastname()}} - Last Name of current agent
{{var user.getName()}} - Full Name of current agent
{{var user.getEmail()}} - Email of current agent
{{var rma.getIncrementId()}} - current RMA number
{{var rma.getGuestId()}} - displays a Guest ID of current RMA.
{{var rma.getUrl()}} - URL of current RMA
{{var rma.getBackendUrl()}} - backend URL to RMA page
{{var rma.getGuestPrintUrl()}} - URL of the printable version of the current RMA
{{var status.getName()}} - current status of RMA
{{var customer.getName()}} - Full Name of current customers
{{var customer.getEmail()}} - Email of current customer
{{var rma.getReturnAddressHtml()}} - address where the package is returned

There is a number of variables that allow you to use your Store Information, as set in Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Store Information

{{var storeInfo.getName()}} - name of your store
{{var storeInfo.getPhone()}} - phone of current store
{{var storeInfo.getCountry()}} - country of your store's location
{{var storeInfo.getCity()}} - city, where your store is located
{{var storeInfo.getRegion()}} - region, where your store is located (if available).
{{var storeInfo.getPostcode()}} - postal code of your location

If Helpdesk is also integrated with RMA, it is possible to use two other variables:

{{var hidden_separator}} - allows separating the answer from the communication history
{{var hidden_code}} - allows hiding the ticket code in the email template which is used to bind the email with the ticket

You also can use special variables to check, whether particular RMA has items with appropriate Reasons, Conditions and Resolutions. These special variables can be used for creating complex notifications, with sections, dependable from items properties. See more on this matter here:

{{var rma_getHasItemsWithReason_XXX}} - allows to check, whether RMA has items with Reason, which have ID=XXX.
{{var rma_getHasItemsWithCondition_XXX}} - allows to check, whether RMA has items with Condition, which have ID=XXX.
{{var rma_getHasItemsWithResolution_XXX}} - allows to check, whether RMA has items with Resolution, which have ID=XXX.

If necessary, it is possible to use RMA templates standard custom variables. These variables are created with System > Custom Variables and can be inserted with {{customvar code="var_name"}}. For example, if the custom variables have a code "test", then the variable will be {{customvar code="test"}}.
