Formatting the Custom Message in an Alert
I would like to send an alert to each of my team members weekly at 2:00 pm on Thursdays. I created the form, and copied the URL. I created the Automated Workflow to send an alert to my team members, and include the URL in the Customized Message.
When I tested this, the customized message, with three short paragraphs (actually a paragraph is 1 or 2 sentences, but it is easier to read separated than one long paragraph).
I pasted the URL on the last line.
First, when I tested and received the alert, everything was jumbled into one paragraph. Looks horrible! Can you force line breaks (e.g., using HTML codes or something)?
Second, is there a way to show NONE of the rows in the sheet? The sheet collects the ratings my team members give each week, and I do not want any of that displayed in the alert. All I see is the advanced option to display certain rows, but I want NO rows to display.
Finally, can I prevent a link to the sheet from being included? I want to avoid team members clicking the link to the sheet and instead use the link to the form (copied/pasted in the message).
Thanks!!!

Hi,
1. It works for me! Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
2. Yes, a workaround I use is to select Display only these columns: in the Advanced Options but I don't select any columns.
3. Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Best,
