Writing a message in Web Whatsapp does not keep blank lines

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by EmilioRoqueta69 565

Hi,

 

I made a flow using this example:

And It works fine, but in my case, the message to send has several lines, with blank lines as separator and when the process types the message in Whatsapp does not keep the space, it replaces the new line for an blank space.

 

This is the message in the Excel file:

This is the message writing in Web Whatsapp:

As you see, the blank lines were ignored.

I do not know if there some setup in the Excel cell to fix this issue.

Thanks for any help!
