Anyone know how to insert line breaks in the body of an email from this app? I tried “\n”, but that didn’t help.

Try to send “%0A” or “%0D%0A”

In Advanced flow, you can use shift+enter as line break, but it works only with the “send a text-only mail to” card

(Works in many (all?) text fields of A.flow cards)

With the ‘normal’ “send a mail to” card you can use  
`</br>`

.  
I also tested both cards types with Jan’s idea:  
`line1 %0A line2 %0A line3 %0D%0A line4`  
but it didn’t result in line breaks

Thanks. I was actually thinking about   
, but thought to myself “nah…it’s not html formatted…”. Sorry for not trying that one, but thanks 🙂
