This article explains how to find the data accessible from SharePoint when using the SharePoint App Connector so it can be used in smart templates through the binding syntax.

  10. The (purple) fields can now be used in bindings in a template using a HostSystem binding.
    For example {{HostSystem.List.Title}} will show the value ‘Documents’ in the document,  {{HostSystem.Site.GeoLocation}} will show 'EUR' and {{HostSystem.Web.Title}} will show 'My Team Site'.

  Important

Field names are case-sensitive.
