Automation Custom Message Formatting Issues in Outlook

ASorensen

Hello, 

I have an automation that I am using to alert someone, and when the notification comes through to my Outlook email the customized message has some serious formatting issues. I have tried multiple different formatting options, typed it directly into the customize message box, tried copy/paste from Word into the customize message box, tried copy/paste from Notepad, tried using html code, etc.

When calling Smartsheet customer support they were unable to find a solution for this. Anyone else having this issue, or found a solution?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Here is a screenshot of what the formatting looks like when it comes through to an email.

Where the email is showing large gaps, there is simply just a one line space. I have also tried to remove all line spaces and the large gaps are a little smaller, but they remain in the email.

Thanks!

Happy to help!

That's strange! Is it the same for all messages? (Reminders, Alerts, Update requests)

I'm unsure about that. I can test it if need be.

I saw an older post that had the same issue so I think it has to to do with the email server.
