Email Event Wildcard Documentation

I would like to see documentation around the Wildcard options for the Event Email triggers. Some of the options I would like to see include:

 

1. FileName (not the directory location, for the Subject Line)

2.Specific Message Type Log (Errors Only, Warning Only, etc)

3. Total Runtime

4. Workflow Version # (From Gallery)

5. Alteryx Created Version

6. Files Created (Full Directory location so it is clickable)

 

Currently there are the following fields available:

 

"Alteryx": %AppName%

Full Directory Location: %Module%

User: %User%
Computer Name: %ComputerName%
Working Directory : %WorkingDir%
Error Count: %NumErrors%
Conversion Errors Count : %NumConvErrors%
Warning Count : %Warnings%

Full Log: %OutputLog%

Regarding the above question from @andrewdatakim, have any new variables been added for use in Event tab emails with version 2018.x?

Hi @bstephenf2 ,

 

I have not seen any new variables to date.

Would it be possible for an Event to show a "Run with Errors" when "0 records were read in from ...."?  In the Run Without Errors Event email, it indicates the workflow ran successfully, but with no data.  In reality this should be an error because the workflow writes 0 outputs.  Is there a way to amend the event to look for this?  Thanks in advance.
