Using tokens within tokens in Notable Events

I have created a workflow action to send a Notable Event to ServiceNow to create an incident. I am unable to figure out how to resolve nested tokens. For example, if the rule title for the correlation rule is "Host With A Recurring Malware Infection ($signature$ On $dest$)"  and I use:

`notable` 
| search event_hash=$event_hash$ 
| eval comments="$rule_title$"
| snowincidentalert

what ends up in ServiceNow is "Host With A Recurring Malware Infection ($signature$ On $dest$)". The signature and dest tokens do not get expanded.  How can I tell it to recursively expand any tokens nested inside other tokens?

@hunterar 

try below : you are looking for command "expandtoken" will expand tokens.

`notable` 
| expandtoken
| search event_hash=$event_hash$ 
| eval comments="$rule_title$"
| snowincidentalert
