Hi vidhyut_arora,

 

A sample response looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<response status="success">
  <note type="note" href="/users/id/5/mailbox/notes/id/45">
    <body type="string" null="true"/>
    <subject type="string" null="true"/>
    <sent_time type="date_time">2006-07-18T22:13:26+00:00</sent_time>
    <recieved_time type="date_time">2006-07-21T08:48:14+00:00</recieved_time>
    <to type="user" href="/users/id/43">
      <login type="string">john_doe</login>
    </to>
    <from type="user" href="/users/id/43">
      <login type="string">john_doe</login>
    </from>
    <id type="int">413</id>
  </note>
</response>

 

So if the variable note contains the response of the note from the REST API, you should be able to access the sender and recipient via $note.from.login and $note.to.login respectively.

 

I hope this helps!

    Thanks Adam for your response.

     

    However, I tried $note.from.login but am not getting the value.

     

    Further clarification, I am trying to use this for setting the value of one of the 'text_key' in Lithium Studio -> Text Editor

     

     

    Thanks,

      We were able to resolve this with Vidhyut outside the community, but I wanted to follow up here to let everyone know the resolution in case anyone else had a similar question.

       

      Vidhyut was trying to update the pm_notification e-mail template via Studio to include the name of the user that sent the private message. We advised Vidhyut to use ${note.fromLogin}
