HTML table formatting email signature

Posted on by gillgamm

I have applied HTML formatting to a table in a Microsoft 365 - Send an Email (v2) through a Compose element. The table is formatted the way I would like but it is also formatting my email signature into a table. Any tips?

@gillgamm I recently answered this, please find link below

This link has a sample html table, please try to use that.

The reason it may be formatting your email is may be because some css/styling is extended to it as well due to some tag which is not closed properly.

@jinivthakkar, I have tried your solution above and many others and like @gillgamm, I am still having the issue where the formatting extends to my email signature. I copied your HTML formatting directly into compose and still have the issue. Any other thoughts? I have checked for open tags but cannot find any.

Were you able to test this? Did they send you the html at all they were using? I am having this same issue where the formatting is extending to my company signature

Rename your table name via a compose action.
i.e. I renamed my table to “blueTable” and used code below to effect change in my flow.
replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'<table>','<table class=\"blueTable\">').

Modify your CSS style to only affect the specific table name.
It seems the default name “table” used in the create HTML table action is also used in the Email signature table.

I know its an old post, but for others with this problem.
Divide your formatting up into steps like below:
Create 4 compose actions
replace(body('Create_HTML_table_af_filtrerede_værdier'), '<table>', '<table border="1">')

replace(replace(outputs('Lav_grænser_i_tabel'), '<', '<'), '>', '>')

replace(outputs('ASCII_chars'), '"', '"')

replace(outputs('Double_quotes'), '<td>', '<td style="padding:5px">')

And then use the last step in your email.

Works great! hope it helps someone
