Tab formatting in E-mail and Approval Tasks

Posted on 14 Jun 2021 04:46:41 by 31

I would like to have tabbed-formatted text in my emails and approval tasks like below:

 

Name         :     John Doe
Age            :     30
Country      :     US

 

I have tried copy and pasting pre-formatted text with tab spacing, manually adding spaces to simulate tabs, but nothing has worked. What is the recommended method to achieve what I want in terms of formatting?

    Hi @lancea1 :

    I suggest that you format this text as a table, so that the layout of the email body can be more in line with your requirements.Some thing like:

    Here is my flow:

    The JSON code:

     

    [
     {
     "FIeldName": "Name",
     "Split":":",
     "Value": "John Doe"
    
     },
     {
     "FIeldName": "Age",
     "Split":":",
     "Value": "30"
     },
     {
     "FIeldName": "Country",
     "Split":":",
     "Value": "35"
     }
    ]

     

    Best Regards,
