send email from file contents

Posted on by jgabrielson

Hey there, I have a simple flow that reads a file added to personal onedrive and then emails (gmail Send email V2) the contents in the message body. It's working great but seems to be adding a lot of jump to the text from the file contents to the message body. I've tried adding an "Initialize Variable" String step that inserts the file contents in to a string and then adding the string to the message body in the send email step but same results.

Example:

Input (file contents):

"summary": {

"table": [],

"line": Scan result summary: alerts=0, warnings=0, infos=2, error=1"

"error": "Scan Aborted:

Input Send email (V2)
\"summary\": {\n \"table\": [],\n \"line\": \"Scan result summary: alerts=0, warnings=0, infos=2, error=1\"\n },\n \"error\": \"Scan Aborted:

I suspect I don't know how to appropriately search google for this type of issue but I'm not finding anything.

Any help would be huge. Thanks!!

Hey @jgabrielson Can you share the Input (file contents)

body('InputActionName')?['summary']?['line']

Or

json(body('InputActionName'))?['summary']?['line']

Or

json(variables('Input'))?['summary']?['line']

I'm not able to share the input file here without redacting a lot of it. But it's a basic mix of json snippet and regular text. The email body on receipt shows a lot of "\n" and "\" added throughout. Is there any way to strip these out of the filecontent before sending in the message body or configure the send email (V2) to not add them?

Hey @jgabrielson,

You can use the replace, easiest option...

replace(replace(outputs('Compose'), '\n', ''), '\', '')

Change the outputs('Compose') with your variable.
