How to Use the Judge Name in a Message Template

Use the merge tag [JudgeName] to auto-populate the Assigned Judge for associated records.

• This merge tag will only work on event, case, warrant, or payment related records. We recommend only using [JudgeName] in Flows and Auto Messages where the specific record is triggered (such as Event Created/Updated).
• For general messages such as Client Created where the Assigned Judge may not be available, use the [PrimaryJudge] merge tag to use the primary Judge configured in the General Settings page.
• In use cases where the specific Judge may not be relevant, use [RandomJudge] to select a Judge randomly.
