SharePoint Rich Text in HTML Table

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 331

How can I display text from a rich text SharePoint column in an HTML table that is sent via email without the HTML tags?

 

I have a list of user training with training expiration dates and a rich text column that includes hyperlinks and other info about the training.  I have a flow with a Get items action that finds all training expiring in the next 10 days followed by a Create HTML table action that stores all the get items so that flow can send it in an email.  That mostly works great except the rich text field shows the div class and other HTML tags.    All the research I've done on this points to the "Html to Text (Preview)" action as a solution to fix this, but this action is not available in my organization's environment.  Is there another way to convert from HTML to text?

    Hi @Alex-W ,

     

    Could you please check the email body in run history?

    I suspect that some reserved characters are escaped so that html tags cannot be recognized.

    You could check whether < is escaped into &lt; or not , and check whether > is escaped into &gt; or not

    This is what the email body of the flow run history has and this is also how it shows up in the email that the user receives:

     

    <div class="ExternalClassE8E070A1AAC34B1AAD03E15B9BE1F9A4"><div class="ExternalClassC2F5AA46184D43FEB05A876BCE350301">​Text from the list item is here.<br><a href="https&#58;//item-link-here">LinkName</a></div></div>
