Power Automate / Forms - Text Formatting

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am having trouble formatting text from a form to an email using power automate.

In the process of sending an automated email when a form is submitted its combining all the text entered into a text field in a form on a single line rather than keeping it seperate.

eg:
Input:
I like these types of dogs.
1. labradors

2. jack russels

3 goldens retirvers

Output:

I like these types of dogs.1. labradors2. jack russels3 goldens retirvers

How do I fix this?
I see in the HTML view on Send and email (V2) it austomatically enters <p class="editor-paragraph"></p><br>

    Hey,
     
    You'll need to use the HTML body: 

     
    You can start wirtting your text after the <p>
    If you want then to just start a new line add a <br>
     
    If you want a new Paragraph to start you need to end the line with </p> and start the next line with <p>
     
    so for your example you would need to do this: 

    <p>I like these types of dogs.<br>
    1. labradors</p>

    <p>2. jack russels</p>

    <p>3 goldens retirvers</p>

    More infos to HTML here: HTML Tutorial (w3schools.com) 

    If this answerd your question please accept it as solution so others can find it as well.

    If it helped you in any other way consider giving it a like so we can keep supporting eachother

    When I try to use <br>, then save, the editor deletes them.
