ALICE Guest Messaging Template Tags
When creating templates for Guest Messaging (GuestMessage and SMSConfirmation), Admins have the ability to use Template Tags to automatically pull information into the message at the time of sending for the guest. All Template Tags use the following format {tags}, with the text inside the brackets being replaced automatically.

{value-of=[Service Option Name]} - The input of a custom field (Service Option). For example, if your Service Option is called 'Party Size', then you would use: {value-of=[Party Size]}. The template would then display the Party Size for that ticket. Please see the sample below for more context.
When using {value-of=[Service Option Name]}, the Service Option Name must match exactly the name of your Service Option configured in admin:
{due-date} - Ticket due date (with no time){due-time} - Ticket due date (only time)
{due "any date format template"} - Ticket due date in your format. Pay attention, you should enter format in double quotes after word "due". In case if format will be no correct, you will not see due date.
Formats for Date and Time can be customized using this code.
