Change text color in Send Email V2 flow HTML based on value of dynamic content

Posted on by DaleM

Hello,

I have a flow that gets the responses from a Microsoft form when a new response is summited. It uses Send Email v2 to send an email to recipients. I want to change the text color of the dynamic content based on its value. Basically if the Dynamic Content from the form = "YES" I want it to be green, if it is "NO" I want the text to be red.

There are 20 different questions in the email that I want this to happen.

I have tried the method below (in red square). I can't get it to work, the email is sent correctly however it doesn't change the text color. Any help or direction is appreciated!

I just want to make sure that what I'm attempting to do is possible

Hard code the color and send a message. Do you see the proper color on receiver's end?

Hi thanks for your reply! Yes, color works if hard coded.

Do you mean hard-code it all? Are you saying make all one color because It's not possible to change it dynamically if it is Yes or No to Green or red?

Because when you said does it work when hard coded, I assumed you meant that I specify what color the answer would be, meaning it would be that color no matter what the answer was.

@DaleM the way I do this is to use a Switch control that is a type of condition that just looks at the answer to 1 question. If it's Yes then set a string variable to 1 color, otherwise set the variable to a different color, and then use the variable in a span in your email.

Hey Rob!, Thank you for your reply, I wondered how this would work, I had hit on a thread somewhere that indicated that method was a solution. Thank you so much for the screenshot. That helps a lot!

I sort of got discouraged when I was looking at it because (and correct me if I'm wrong) I will need to create a variable for each question answer correct? If so, there are 25 questions so I would need 25 variables...

Again thank you guys for taking the time to reply and provide help, I appreciate you!

Dale

Our Display Screen Equipment Assessment form has, I think, 32 questions and columns! It took a long time to build and the flow is very long which is why I gave you a heavily-cut-down version of it! But if you decide to bite the bullet and build it at least you know how to do it. Start with 1 answer and if that works then build it up from there. Good luck 🙂
