Is there a current bug in PAD for the Send Email action?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello Everyone.

 

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but in my web automation PAD flow I use the Send Email action to send an email to myself when the flow completes successfully.

 

Recently though, the text of the email is incorrectly formatted, and is somewhat right aligned when I view the email in Outlook.

 

If I then go in to PAD it has the same right aligned text for the Send Email action Body section. 


So, I fix it in PAD by updating the Body section of the Send Email action so that it is all correctly justified and run the flow again and it repeats. 

The resulting email sent still has somewhat right aligned text and the process repeats.

 

PAD never used to do this, any ideas for how to fix it?

 

If you want to test this, create a basic flow and use the Send Email action and put some text in the Body section and see how it is output once the email is sent (e.g. incorrectly justified) and then view the Send Email action in PAD again and it will be the same.

Regards.

    Have you tested if this also happens when you use a variable with your text instead hard coded text in the Send Email action?

    Thank you for replying @Gidi , I'm not sure I understand your question. But I changed nothing and this started to happen for the Send Email action.  I have since updated the Send Email action body text and it uses variables and still displays strangely,

    Example from Outlook.

    Hi Ianwuk,

    I mean first use set variable with the text that you want to use in the mail body. Then use the variable in the body of Send Email’ action. 

    I noticed this strange text formatting behavior on display messages and it may also happen in other situations too.

    Can you provide a screenshot from setting the variable?

    Please also test with append to text variable for the separate text / picture section. 

    Are you using html in the email action?

    Please try setting a variable with the text of your mail body and use this variable in the mail body section.
