Posted on by YaBooyyy

Hey all,

I'm making a power automate.
The automate is about assigning an email to someone and making a task in planner about this.
Everything is working exactly like I would want it to only the body of the email.
I converted the HTML to normal text but is still show some elements.( /r/n )
I added some pictures of the part from my flow wich has an impact on this.
I also tried to add a delay between create and update task but this didn't help 😞

Hey @YaBooyyy
Can you give an example or test data how your data looks like in the body that you are entering in html to text action?
Then I might be able to give you some solution.

@YaBooyyy If you want to remove new lines code please use replace() before assigning to variable.

@YaBooyyy
So replace function, replaces any word or letter that you give with another letter/word you provide.
So, in the above case, you can use it like this:
take a compose:
replace(variables('EmailText'),'\r','')
By this we are replacing \r with no space.
Then you can do this again for '\n'
This can be done in 1 compose too, but I am really bad with expressions. Hehe.

Use this:
replace(replace(variables('EmailText'),'\r',''),'\n','')

Hey I testes with compose a both but I still have the same result.
The replace is as follows: replace(variables('EmailText'),'\r','')
I added a screenshot of the part from my flow, still using the same email as a testI looked around on other post and looks like they do the same.
Thnx again for the fast answer 🙂
