Hi @lanwin,

We have 2 great articles which describe the alerting and templating.

The 1st one is written by a community user on this [post](https://community.grafana.com/t/how-to-modify-grafana-alert-template/70620)

The second one is written by one of our team member in the following [post](https://community.grafana.com/t/how-to-use-alert-message-templates-in-grafana/67537/3) which is still a very active post to this date.

I hope this helps.
