Posted on by hnumanoglu

Hi,

We want to approve sharepoint items so I created a flow and add records to mail body but it does not recoginse paragraphs and spaces. It is creating a big one paragraph sentence, so it is not user friendly and looks very bad. How can I enter paragraphs and make it tidy a little.If I do not enter these then they can not know, what they are approving...! Please check below, what I set up in flow management and how it looks in mail...

In mail;

Actually I was incorrect, you can use html line breaks to introduce breaks like so

Hi Raj,

Is this action meant to be used by business users? then they can not use it because one of my business users(most of those) will never understand what's </br> and they have to go to developer like me to develop email body for them. Please add formatting otherwise business users can never use it for sure. They can write simple hello world emails thats it.

That's a valid point - most business users would not be familiar with HTML syntax. If Raj has not already filed a bug, I will file one to track this work.

Sorry, not yet. The item to do this better is in our backlog. We are hoping to update this in the coming months.

Please add formatting to the body. Also, would be nice to format date/time fields as well.

Thank you,

Hi @RajRa,

While it's nice to be able to add a line break, I'd like to know if we can expect support at least for basic HTML customizations such as bold, font color, style and etc in near future?

Cheers,
Anton
