Has anyone done a substring from a ticket body to use in an automation?

Hi John,
This is a very valid use-case but we wouldn’t be able to pull only certain data from the ticket body. The {{ticket.description}} placeholder will return the complete content of the ticket body/description.
This can be easily achieved if the employee details were contained within the service item form fields and we have placeholders available for all custom service item fields in the workflow automator.
Instead of sending an email to create an incident ticket, if you set up a service item form for Employee Onboarding which the HR personnel can fill, we can completely automate this process as you require.
Let us know your thoughts.
Cheers :)

We receive a standard email from our HR system for new hires, a copy is below.
This is sent to freshservice and raises a service request via a simple automation.
We would like to make the automation more intelligent and send a mail out to the owners of business systems to setup the user.
Can we extract certain lines from the message body to use in the new mail, like placeholders but custom.
we would like to be able to send the Name, Employee ID, Job Title and email address lines to the business system administrators so that they can grant access required for that role, but we cannot forward the whole mail because it would contain the user's password.
