Sorry if this is a "stupid" question, but I am new to Apex.

I made 2 processes on the create button: one is to insert into the department table and the other one to send an email with some info, among them the department too. I made an email template and I want to display the department name, not the id which is inserted into the table. So I thought, that maybe I can do that with a function, like in the picture attached(get_department_by_id - returns the name of a department).

The help function in the builder usually gives enough info. Here is the help for "Placeholder values"

So only Application, Page Items and System Variables are allowed.

Note: There are multiple places in APEX where you can pass a number of arguments (links, branches, etc) but nowhere the use of functions is allowed.

This is how it worked for me. I created a computation, with the computation of type "Expression" with source get_department_by_id(:P7_ID_DEPARTMENT) and Condition Type "Request = Expresion 1" with source the name of the button(ex.create). Thank you Koen Lostrie for the guidance!
