How to remove spaces before and after dynamic content (formatdate)

Posted on by salmonsushi

Hi, I faced an issue whereby there seems to be a <br> in front and behind a dynamic content that is created from formatdate (as highlighted in yellow) .

I tried trimming and using compose but the spaces are still there.

Alternatively, I tried using concat to join all my email body and the dynamic content (formatdate) but there is no difference.

The dates has to be dynamic as it will change every month. Hence I divided the email template into 3 segments, and insert the dynamic content in there.

Hi @salmonsushi

Could you post a screenshot of the variable 'current month' mapping?

@abm I have amend but it remains the same.

When I look at the output in html, this is what I observed:

<span style="color:rgb(50, 49, 48);font-size:14px;"><br>Jak</span></div>
</div>March 2023<div class="ExternalClass0F385871DFE74D63B899B78150C014C1">
<div style="font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color:black;"> dobiegła końca, prosimy o przesłanie nam e-mailem

I'm not proficient in html. But it seems like the </div> is causing the spaces before and after the dynamic content "Current_Month"

I managed to solve it by using replace function.

In the email content, to type 'MMM_YYYY' that requires dynamic reference.
Use replace function to search for strings within email content that has 'MMM_YYYY', and replace it with Current_Month variable
