As we know the Body part of sys_email contains HTML code that can be previewed by pressing the 'Preview HTML body' button.
I stripped much of the HTML code so I ended up with a preview in my example below.
Is it possible to get a portal widget to read and present the same as we see here?
A possible solution could be to define an Inbound Email Action that reads this particular mail, then a script that strips the HTML code in the body, same way as I did manually. But from here and to get it presented in the Portal, my knowledge stops. I don't even know if it is possible.
If I understand you correctly, it's possible and we're doing something similar.
You can have your widget either read directly from the sys_email table, or, as you said, you can use an inbound action and then read that target record. The latter is what we've done.
In your inbound action, use 'email.body_html' to grab the html of the inbound notification and copy that to an HTML field on your target table.
From there, in your widget, grab the displayValue() of that HTML field and you'll have what you see in the email.
Here's the inbound email we received
Here's what it looked like displayed on our Portal
If you need any more info, I'd be happy to help.
