Using HTML in Start and Wait for Approval

How do I incorporate HTML into the Details of Start and Wait for an Approval.  I am only trying to use an unordered list.

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<ul>
    <li> Approving this request acknowledges that current Island inventory can support additional demand based on @{triggerBody()?['Customer']} projected usage for the next 4 weeks.</li>
    <li> Approving this request acknowledges that current State inventory can support additional demand based on @{triggerBody()?['Customer']}projected uage for the next 8 weeks.</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

 

 

Please note that I am using dynamic content for Customer.  Copying and pasting made it look different.

 

This approach for HTML does not work.

@rmanthey HTML can't used in the start and wait for an approval, only markdown is supported:

@RobElliott Thank you

@RobElliott My first bullet showed up properly formatted but the others did not.  

 

 

I got it to work.  I have spaces in front of the "-" so it would be indented, not important, so I took them out and it is formatted.

 

Thanks again

Hello @RobElliott 

 

I have a situation where In start and wait for the approval I want to create a link to create auto generated mail with auto populated sent to, cc, and email body.

This is achievable by using normal: Sent an email from shared mailbox(v2) 

but In above situation I am not able to catch Approver response whether he approved or rejected in backend tables.

Hence I want to use Start and wait for the approval. How can I create below link in start and wait for approval as I have variables too define mail content and table fields to define cc and mail to?

I am new to Power automate. It would be very helpful if any idea you suggest. Thanks in advance.

@nejhade after your start and wait for approival action add a condition of If Outcome is equal to Approve then do x otherwise do y. You will be able to select the outcome from the dynamic content, who the approver was, the date etc.

Thanks for the suggestions @RobElliott 

As that approach will make me sent another mail to approver to sent an autogenerated mail. 

I Don't want to sent 2 mails to approvers one for approving (that will update row at backend) and another for sending autogenerated mail to requestor.

 

I want both the activities to be done via start and wait approval action only. 

Hence I am finding a way to add a link to 'start and wait for an approval' activity to generate an autogenerated mail.

 

Thanks any suggestion would be helpful.

How can I add logo in start and wait for an approval action in power automate?

I did a workaround by defining a string variable with header like that in the initialize value

 | Description | Quantity | Sender Name |

|-----------|-----------|-----------|

 

Then for each row I appended the following string to the string variable

| Column1 value | Column 2 Value | Column 3 Value |
All values can be replaced with dynamic values from different sources

Make sure that you click enter after each line as red arrows show

At the end I added the string to the approval details

When I ran the flow the output would be like that 

Emad_Gerges_3-1720446488956.png

Also the approval came with the right table format.
