How can I left-align my email content?

I have a Flow that sends an email containing HTML. It seems that Flow is adding "TEXT-ALIGN: center" as an inline style to the <body> element of my mail content, which then messes up the formatting of my mail. Is this the intended behavior? If so, is there a workaround? I'm not trying to do anything fancy, I'd just like the contents of my email to be left-aligned rather than centered.

Put the style of your parent most tag and it should apply to all children unless specified elsewhere.

You may need need to create a parent div in the body field of your email to with the style applied to place data into.

Yes, I've found that this works correctly. However, adding this attribute to every single element in the mail is very tedious so a CSS solution (or a fix to change the existing behavior of automatically adding "text-align: center" to the body) would be preferable.

Re: How can I left-align my email content?

Hi @kylewhit,

Would you please share more information about which Email Action you used here?

If you are using the Office 365 Outlook Send An Email Action, then please click the Advanced option, there would be Is HTML available to select, set it to Yes, and then use the HTML tag to left-align the Email Body.

<p style="text-align:left;"> This text is left aligned </p>

Reference:

If this is not the case, then please share a screenshot here, I will then help to take a look.

Regards,

Michael
