Hi @syedusamasubzwari

I think you have a syntax issue in your message. Templated labels should go inside `{{ handlebars }}`:

> **[Create Grafana managed alert rule](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/unified-alerting/alerting-rules/create-grafana-managed-rule/#details)**

> Create Grafana managed alert rule

I set up the alert template like this:  
 ![screenshot-localhost_3000-2021.07.16-19_37_37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/1/f/1fe8fc5dcc8bccbd26f6d41a7eff23519ece7bb1.png)

But I get it in telegram like this:  
 ![Снимок экрана от 2021-07-16 19-39-24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/e/6/e6a7ce4a12859f39a56fae1b2498a45a91af3208.png)

templates do not work.  
what am I doing wrong?

Grafana v8.0.6 (68fe9e3431)

In defaults.ini:  
[feature\_toggles]  
enable = ngalert

@belanchuk are you using the Classic Condition in Grafana 8 alerts? If so you won’t have the labels available to you. You’ll need to create a multi-dimensional rule
