Send email from Lifecycle State

Hello Experts, I am trying to set the email notification on Life cycle state of an Item. I want to send the information of the item in the email body. In the notification template i am trying to write the query string to get the information of item but facing difficulties. In case of the workflow notification, we can get the information from the "Activity", but not sure about the life cycle state. Anyone have sample of query string and email body. I am trying to get the information using the below query string, it is not returning anything - <Item type="Activity" id="${Item/ActivityId}" action="get" select="name,message"/>
