Email body editor

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

I am building an application that contains a feature to send emails. Now I received the request to make the body of the email editable. So far I found the obvious solution: the "Rich Text Editor". After experimenting a little bit I realized that there are many restrictions (Not able to create tables for example). Is there some kind of editor with more freedom. A super cool solution would be some kind of code editor module that works with html code.

I tried to trick the system with the html editor and add the "contenteditable" tag to an element but power apps wont let me edit the canvas when I run it.

Do you have any ideas?

Hi @Anonymous

One option is to use a custom PCF control. This one based on TinyMCE provides more functionality compared to the built-in rich text editor.

Hi @Anonymous

The first step would be to download the solution for the PCF control.

You can then import and publish the solution from the solutions area of the Power Apps portal.

You can then add the component to your canvas app by following the instructions beneath.
