Writing a message in Web Whatsapp does not keep blank lines

Hi,

 

I made a flow using this example:

And It works fine, but in my case, the message to send has several lines, with blank lines as separator and when the process types the message in Whatsapp does not keep the space, it replaces the new line for an blank space.

 

This is the message in the Excel file, as you can see there are ALT+Enter between lines to separate them.

This is the message writing in Web Whatsapp:

As you see, the blank lines were ignored.

I can add {Enter} in the content of the column to force an enter command and it will split the message in several parts, but I want to send the complete content in only one piece, keeping the blank lines.

 

Is there a solution for this scenario? Can I add something in the Excel cell to fix that?

Thanks for any help!

    I solved adding {Shift}{Enter} in the text message.

    This is the way to add a new line in Web Whatsapp.

     

    Thank you
