Hi
I have a multi-line text box and column in an SP list. Is there a way to send this powerautomate but still retain the line breaks?
Many thanks.
Hi @jed76, per your question, yes you can use the multi-text column value by using the 'When an item is created' / 'When an item is created or modified' triggers if you want your flow be triggered if the user created new item into your SharePoint list, however, if your scenario is that you wanted to get a specific item, then you can use instead the 'Get item' action. Hope this helps 😊
Hi @jed76 , May be i didnt understand completely but you can use or send SP list column in Power Automate through various actions available, like get item, get items, when item created, modified etc and then use it further in Send email body. Send Email action has body which can easily customed with html code:

Many thanks. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
I can send the multiline text to PowerAutomate to use within the body of the SEND AN EMAIL connector. However, it just comes out in a single line without the line breaks which are shown in the PowerApps multiline text input. I would like to retain this formatting. Is this possible?
Hi @jed76 , Is it possible to make the column as rich text in SP? And then use rich text control in PowerApps also:
Because it will be difficult to to have break line because the content will be dynamic every time.
@jed76 To clarify, you must format it in HTML
For example:
Good Day,<br /><br /> Please see attached file for details about your assessment.<br /><br /> Thank you for choosing our team for your assessment needs!<br /><br /> Sincerely,<br /> Your Assessment Team
You could use something like this for your email body:
Substitute(MultiLineTextControl.Text, Char(10), "<br />")
