Hi,
I'm currently experiencing an issue with my automation flow in Power Automate, which drafts emails with selected recipients. When I input text in the body section, I can see that it allows formatting. However, during the test run, the output does not retain the formatting, and the drafted email does not permit any additional formatting.
I've tried basic troubleshooting steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue. Could someone please assist me in finding a solution?
Thanks in advance!
In the action, look for the Body field.
Switch to Code View (the little </> icon in the editor).
</>
Enter your body as HTML.
Example HTML Body:
<p>Hello <strong>team</strong>,</p> <p>This is a <span style="color:blue;">formatted</span> email sent via Power Automate.</p> <ul> <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> </ul> <p>Regards,<br/>Your Bot</p>
This ensures you control exactly how formatting appears.
In the Send email or Create draft action:
Expand Advanced options.
Set Is HTML = Yes.
Yes
This instructs Outlook/Exchange to render the body as HTML.
After you test, check the draft or sent message—your formatting should now appear exactly as designed.
