+### Send email alerts using the toTemplate option
+
+You can use `toTemplate` to derive email addresses directly from data instead of hardcoding them individually. 
+In the example below, we are using both the `to` option and `toTemplates` option in order to derive email addresses from a dataset and send email alerts directly to recipients. 
+Like the `to` option, the `toTemplates` option can be used more than once in a TICKscript. 
+You can combine the `to` and `toTemplates` options or use them individually depending on your use case.
