The data to use when parsing the data. When the following data is received:

{
    firstname__person : "John",
    email__person : "john@whereismyemail.com"
}

It can be used in a template:

<template id="mytemplate">
    <p>Hello {{ firstname__person }}, your email address is {{ email__person }}.</p>
</template>

Which will result in:

Hello John, your email address is john@whereismyemail.com.
