Solved: Re: HTML table in email body, big line separations

LIUZheng · 11-07-2023 11:03 PM

Hello guys,

I am not familiar with HTML, and simply searched for some online examples. I wanted to use HTML table, to have nicely aligned view in an email body. I show my lines in the email body below.

However, the outcome shows strange view. And doesn't look like some simple online trials.

Any advice about this?

<html>
<body>
<p>Hello colleague,</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Test Order:</td>
<td><<[_THISROW].[TANo]>></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Planned timing:</td>
<td>Dec. 5 to Dec. 9</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I don't have other options at the moment.

And I think you are leading me to the right article, thanks for the reply.

Quick tip #1:
When using HTML as the Body template, please make a full .html file and refer to it instead of typing the content in the field provided by AppSheet inside the Bot/Task config.
I've seen many issues related to HTML inside that field

Quick tip #2:
Don't use the preview, test with real data.
Bots has a "Test" option that will open a view where you can fire your bot as if the event were happening.

If you are using an scheduled bot, you can use the "Run" option instead
