Need Help with outbound email format

Hi all, 

 

I have created a flow that will automatically send an outbound email which extracts the description field from the incident record. however the issue is when the email is generated it is in a unreadable format. (screenshot email format) 

I want it to go out in the same format it comes into the description (screenshot Description in Incident) 

 

Any ideas how this can be done? or even how I can make it more readable

Can you attach images of your notification? Are you triggering this within the flow as an inline notification? Using a "When triggered" email notification record? Or an event?

good question and the honest answer is im not sure. iv just created a flow and the action is send email.

 

happy to share more with you if you can tell me what would be helpful 

The send email action doesn't seem to respect line breaks in fields such as a description field. Whether that is a bug or intended is a question for SN support...

 

However, a preferred method of mine for triggering notifications is the "Send notification" action instead. The notification record it references does support multi-line description fields without the need to script anything

@Kieran Anson With Send notification, does that have the facility for the external supplier to reply to the email and the updates are fed directly back into the ticket?
