Flow automatically adding extra backslash inside my string

[zeedee11]

I'm setting a string variable based on multiple inputs using concat(). I need to add \n at different points to this string. The output of the string variable seems ok.

When I pass this string inside as a HTTP POST to a different application, Flow adds another backslash. How do I prevent this extra backslash?

Hi @zeedee11,

Is the string is a part of HTML content?

If it is, instead of insert "\n", you could insert <br> into the string.

Thanks for the suggestion. But <br> isn't going to work in my case.

I was able to figure it out anyway. Instead of doing all the fancy concat() stuff and manually adding the \n, I inserted my multiple inputs line by line as needed inside of my string variable like this:

Now when it inserts the variable inside the HTTP POST JSON, it automatically adds the \n for me. Success.
