New Line in Power Automate

[nejhade]

I have initialized variable 'MailBody' where I have  If condition in Concat statement in it.

ex:

concat('I approve the below request:','
',if(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/TYPE'],'ADP'),concat('Name : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/NAME'],'
','KBC : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/KBC'],'
','PQR : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/PQR']),concat('Name : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/NAME'],'
','XYZ : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/XYZ'],'
','ABC : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/ABC'],'
','EFG : ',triggerOutputs()?['body/EFG'])))

then I have added variable to the sent mail activity where I have link to create another mail then above mail body executes, I have tried all way(adding<br>, created variable with enter and added, <\n> line) to add new line but its not working. I am getting all the values in single line.

ex: Name:ValueXYZ:ValueABC:ValueEFG:Value

Expected: 

Name:Value

XYZ:Value

ABC:Value

EFG:Value

Please help me solve this I am new to Power Automate.

Many Thanks in Adnvance

Hi @nejhade ,

A quick and simple way to do this would be to add a blank line to a variable or compose action, then concatenate that to your variable or string:

concat('Line 1', outputs('ComposeNL'), 'Line2', outputs('ComposeNL'), 'Line 3')

Hope this helps.

Hello @ekarim2020 

Thanks for the solutions.

I applied same, I composed an action and concate it to my string, Problem is I am getting output in a flow as new line. but when email renders it doesn't show new line in mail.

Please refer below image, I have a variable. 'RequestBody' which I am using in a mail template. As you see when user click on "Please click here to approve the request" then new email opens and that Requested body will be part of new mail. 

where I am not getting new line. I renders information in single line.

Image 1: Flow output after Run- when new mail creates from link.

Image 2: email body template.

In that case, for HTML emails,  you can add two <br><br> tags and then check the output.

Thanks  for the response @ekarim2020  I have tried your solution but its not working for me.

But it will work for normal mail template.

I have a link inside a mail to create a new mail and In new mail from a link this solution is not working.

Not only this solution, any solution is not working. As no html tags are working in a 'RequestBody' variable in outlook. As flow run output showing new line but outlook mail is not reflecting new line.

Hi @nejhade ,

If you want to wrap lines in the body of mailto, just add "%0d%0a" between lines.For example:

concat('Name : ','Value','%0d%0a','KBC : ','Value','%0d%0a','PQR : ','Value')

Best Regards,

Bof
