Formatted URL Link within HTML Table

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 89

Hello Power Automate Community, 

 

Can you please see if you can help here:

I was inserting formatted URL links using <a href="url">link text</a> notation into HTML Table before. 

Typically, I would use "Get Items"  filtered with filter query and then generate HTML table where one of the columns would be an Url link that receives an ID from "Get Items output" and some link text value also from "Get Items output". The link would get properly formatted. 

 

Now I am using "Get Items" and then   filter array and parse json actions per screen shots

When i am emailing the table - the link is working, but it's not formatted properly (please see the screenshot)

I tried putting the same link into a string variable and emailing the variable directly- it works fine and gets formatted the way I expect, it seems  that it gets into a  conflict with HTML table only .

I tested html table without the table styling - still the same issue. 

I also tried using select action before HTML  but  didn't help

 

do you have any ideas?

    Hello @ogend ,

    the 'Create HTML table' action will take the HTML code and turn it into a string. To turn it back into HTML code you must replace a few characters in the email body as described here in more detail: https://tomriha.com/how-to-add-hyperlink-in-the-create-html-table-power-automate-action/

    replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table_3'),'&lt;','<'),'&gt;','>'),'&quot;','"')
