## Accessing Data: Handlebars

The current row data and other details will be available in the hooks payload so the user can use [handlebar syntax](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#simple-expressions) to use data.

> We are using [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) library to parse the payload internally.

### Example

For a table with column names (id, title, created_at, updated_at).  
For INSERT/ UPDATE based triggers, use following handlebars to access corresponding **data** fields.

-   {{ **data**.id }}
-   {{ **data**.title }}
-   {{ **data**.created_at }}
-   {{ **data**.updated_at }}  
  
Note that, for Update trigger - all the fields in the ROW will be accessible, not just the field updated.
For DELETE based triggers, **only** {{ data.id }} is accessible representing ID of the column deleted.
  
For all trigger, following **user** information associated with person trigger can be accessed.

-   {{ **user**.id }} : Unique auto incremented NocoDB system value
-   {{ **user**.email }} : User E-mail.
-   {{ **user**.roles }} : User Role amongst [Owner, Creator, Editor, Commenter, Viewer].

### JSON format

Use {{ json data }} {{ json user }} to dump complete data & user information available in JSON format
