Question

Hello Community,

I’m facing an issue with Case records created via Inbound Email Action in CSM.(Attaching the screenshots)

Scenario:

  • A Case is created through an Inbound Email Action.
  • Email Subject is mapped to the Short Description.(Screenshot2)
  • Email Body is mapped to the Description field.
  • The mapping works as expected at the record level.

Issue:
When viewing the Case in the CSM Portal, the Description content appears cluttered and difficult to read.(Screenshot 1)

  • Line breaks from the original email body are not preserved properly.
  • The content looks merged or poorly formatted, making it hard for customers to read.

Requirement:
I need the Description field in the CSM Portal to be displayed in a clear, readable format, preserving:

  • Line breaks
  • Paragraph spacing
  • Proper text formatting
