How to create a space between text rows in flow email

Hi all

 

In my sharepoint list I have a column called Work Log Details, the Work Log Details is updated from a Power App.  A user submits a comment in the PowerApp and it is added to the top of the Work Log Details in Sharepoint, it appears like this in Sharepoint with the most recent comment at the top.

Get changes for an item Expression: add(int(triggerOutputs()?['body/{VersionNumber}']),-1)

Condition: Has Column Changed: Work Log Details

Alison1_1-1666929289630.png

 

The problem is, the Work Log Details appear like this in the email without spaces as per the Sharepoint list and PowerApp. Does anyone know how I can fix please please?

Hi @Alison1,

 

If you only want the newly added comment you will need the first two lines (the details of the user and the comment itself). You can use a take function for that.

 

join(array(take(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/WorkLogDetails'], decodeUriComponent('%0A')), 2)), '<br>')

 



Happy to help out! 🙂

Hi @AbdulWahab 

Thank you for your reply.

 

So the text appears as a singular paragraph in the email like this:

 

Administrator Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 2:58 PM; User: ######] Testing Administrator Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 2:26 PM; User: ######] Testing Administrator Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 2:09 PM; User: ######] Testing 2:08 Administrator Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 2:07 PM; User: ######] Testing Requester Cancel Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 1:54 PM; User: ######] Testing Requester Edit Comment [Date: October 28, 2022 1:53 PM; User: ######] Testing

 

Whereas in Sharepoint and the PowerApp it appears like this:

I would like the text in the email to appear the same as it is in Sharepoint.

Hi All,

 

I think the challenge with this is that mark-up is not carried over from the field value and not in the body of the Send email itself.

 

I would suggest to use an expression for this. Split the Work Log Details field value on the new line character (0A) and join it back together with a br HTML tag.

 

Below is an example of that approach, can you try that?

join(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/WorkLogDetails'], decodeUriComponent('%0A')), '<br>')

Hi @Expiscornovus 

That works perfectly thank you so much! Do you know if there is a way to just include the newly added comment?

Thanks

Hi @AbdulWahab,

 

Like mentioned in my previous reply, when splitting on 0A the details of the user and the actual comment text itself would be in separate items of the array.

 

When you use the first you would only get the first item which would be the text 

Edit Comment [Date: October 27, 2022 3:57 PM; User: ######] without the comment text Testing which is located in the 2nd item.

 

That's why I was suggesting to use a take and collect the first two items instead of a first one 😉
