Adding a percentage after a variable in email

Posted on by justinremy

Hello all,

I am doing a basic send an email message through Outlook, and in the Body I require the numbers to be percentages.

Because the variable has % on each side, I keep getting an error when trying to add the percentage symbol. What would the work around be for this in Power Automate Desktop?

Add one more percent on the end.

%variable% is the variable

%% is just %

good luck.

Hi Michael,

Was there a way to add bolding or dot points into the body of the email?

Thanks,
Justin

Hey Justin,

I believe you have two options for the body: Plain text or html.

if you flip the selector to html, then you can write an email template in outlook and copy the html code into the body.

I’ve never had to do this, but I believe that’s how it’s done. I’m not at my computer now, but I can follow up tomorrow after I give it a shot.
