Once an Outlook email is received add it to a SharePoint List

I have gone through the steps to have my email be sent to a sharepoint list automatically! This works, woohoo. The only problem is that the Email content itself (Email Body) is not displaying correctly. My sharepoint list has two columns at the moment

-- 1st column: Title (Subject of the Email)

-- 2nd Column: Content (Body of the Email)

My flow has four steps at the moment. "When a new email arrives" --> Create Item -- Get my profile --> Send an Email

 

I have played around in "Create Item" but I have not been able to have the email body be displayed correctly. It displays as an html code. 

 

How do I get the Email Body to display into plain text/ rich text. I don't want html code to be displayed. Is there an extra step I must take?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Two solutions:

    1. Choose the Body preview dynamic content instead of the Body dynamic content.

    2. As @Gristy  suggested to use the html to text action.

    Hi,

     

    Body of an email is HTML code.

     

    There is a flow action called HTML to Text
