I have a couple questions related to sending HTML Email from MS Form values using MS Flow:

1. How to include Line Breaker from MS Form Long Text box when sending HTML Email using MS Flow

Currently, it's converting the multi line values as a single line in the email. How do I keep the original format to include linebreaker in the email?

2. How to remove [" "] format from MS Form Multiple Choice answer when sending HTML Email using MS Flow

Multivalues are represented in array format, how do I remove this is MS Flow process?

Hi @Anonymous

for multi choice field use expression

replace(replace(replace(dynamiccontentmultichoicefield,'["',''),'"]',''),'","',',')

for long text line break

First create a compose action (rename it to NewLine)
and add following expression
decodeUriComponent('%0A')
Then in email use expression

replace(dynamiccontentlongfield,outputs('NewLine'),'</br>')

Hi @Anonymous

You need to use the expression syntax

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. Is there some kind of documentation to go through for more advanced flows like this?

Reza,

This fails if the Multiline Text field is NULL. This expression will first check that it is not NULL prior to trying to make the string change:

if(equals(coalesce([FIELDNAME],'NULL'),'NULL'),'',replace([FIELDNAME],outputs('NewLine'),'</br>'))
