Line Break not working for email.

Hi all,

I am using the Gmail connector to send an email from my Powerapps. I have found that I need to use <br> to get my text onto a new line but for some reason this is not working (RED LINE OF DEATH APPEARS), screenshot attached.

Can anyone shed any light onto why this is happening.

Many thanks

I don't think you can use the line break tab in that way because PowerApps does not recognize the HTML tags in that context. Try using Char(13) to do a line break instead like I have shown below. It does the exact same thing as <br>.

Hi @mrjrobinson

The reason for the error is because the <br> tag needs to be enclosed in double quotes. The code would look like this..

ThisItem.Member_x0020_Name & "<br>" & "Here is your Membership..."
