Modify Create HTML Output for formatting purposes

Posted on by JojenReed

Newbie question here,

I have a flow of which I have a step "create HTML table", the output of this step is then used in a "send an email" step.

What I want to do is format the table, preferably to have horizontal borders and possibly some ccell background fill.

I have tried following the advice at the link below, but I was unsuccessful. I tried adding a "data operations - compose" step betwene my "Create HTML table" and "send an email" steps. I changed the ouputs appropriately. In the data operations I use the phrase: replace(body(OUTPUT),'<table>','<table border="1">') - where Output is the output from the Create HTML table step. All that happened however was the text around the Output reference was added to the html body.

How do I implement the solution suggested at the link below? What stages do I need to use?

Thanks.

Hi @JojenReed,

I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

Please make sure you have set the "Is HTML" field to "Yes" in the "Send an email" action.

Please refer to the screenshot of my flow as below:

The flow would run successfully as below:

The email would be sent as below:

Best regards,
