HTML to Text conversion problem

‎06-03-2019 06:05 AM

Hi all,

So I've been trying to set up a flow, at first successfully. The flow is triggered when an email is received (in a specific folder), and the format of the email body is essentially an HTML table, each row is field name followed by value. This actually comes from an Oracle based webform that we don't have access to.

 

In basic form the email would look like this:

 

First Name

TEST

Last Name

FORM

Who Are You?

Other

Phone Number

01223444555

Email Address

test.form@testform.com

Address

7 Test Street

City

Test City

Post Code

TS11 2TS

Company

Testing Co

Warranty Type

3 Year

Date of Purchase

04-05-2018

Date of Installation

08-05-2018

Product Code

TEST0002

Quantity

7

Batch Code

TESTBATCH001

Agreed to terms and conditions?

Commercial I have read and understand the terms and conditions

 

All data in this form is a test input so no worry of breaches.

 

My flow takes all of the field response values, ready to put into something like an Excel spreadsheet. I use a combination of indexing and substring to get those results - works great.

 

All of my tests were done by forwarding the email to myself, whereby the HTML to text converter connector handles the translation and removes the HTML coding, and successfully leaves the format of the email so all of the text sits on its own line.

 

I come to go live with the flow, and the original email that gets sent out causes the flow to fail. Investigating this, and testing once again, it appears that the first email that's sent out has completely different HTML coding than that of when it's being forwarded.

 

So I set up an email forwarding rule, to automatically forward myself an email, move to another folder and then the flow runs. This didn't work. For some reason, only manually forwarding the email successfully keeps the formatting of the text from HTML. Instead, it appears as one long paragraph which in turn causes the flow to fail.

 

Here's the text that comes from the flow when it's not working:

First NameTESTLast NameFORMWho Are You? OtherPhone Number01223444555Email Addresstest.form@testform.comAddress7 Test StreetCityTest CityPost CodeTS11 2TS CompanyTesting Co Warranty Type3 YearDate of Purchase04-05-2018Date of Installation08-05-2018Product CodeTEST0002Quantity7Batch CodeTESTBATCH001Agreed to terms and conditions?Commercial I have read and understand the terms and conditions

 

I'm not quite sure why the HTML to text converter is doing this to the body of the email that comes in, when manually forwarding the email keeps the format.

 

Any ideas? I actually have the HTML code saved in a notepad to compare them but I'm no HTML writer.

For your best results, you'll likely want to parse the HTML to a SharePoint List, and then pull/manipulate the SharePoint List data to your liking.

I pull in tons of data from P6 which is an Oracle Datbase connection, and trying to manipulate the data directly is a nightmare. I find it much easier to pull it into a SharePoint list, and then do with it as I want. 

If you could provide an expanded screenshot of your Flow and steps, and of any detailed error messages you're receiving we could likely better assist you.

If this reply has answered your question or solved your issue, please mark this question as answered. Answered questions helps users in the future who may have the same issue or question quickly find a resolution via search. If you liked my response, please consider giving it a thumbs up. THANKS!

Thanks for the reply.

 

At the moment I'm merely using "get email" as my test and a manual trigger.

 

I was using indexof and substring expressions to split the text up, like I said worked a charm on emails manually forwarded.

 

But the original email that comes from source, contains a body that looks like this:

 

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="5" style="width:80%"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>First Name</strong></td> <td>TEST</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Last Name</strong></td> <td>FORM</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Who Are You? </strong></td> <td>Other</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Phone Number</strong></td> <td>01223444555</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Email Address</strong></td> <td>test.form@testform.com</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Address</strong></td> <td>7 Test Street</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>City</strong></td> <td>Test City</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Post Code</strong></td> <td>TS11 2TS</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Company</strong></td> <td>Testing Co </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Warranty Type</strong></td> <td>3 Year</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Date of Purchase</strong></td> <td>04-05-2018</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Date of Installation</strong></td> <td>08-05-2018</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Product Code</strong></td> <td>TEST0002</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Quantity</strong></td> <td>7</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Batch Code</strong></td> <td>TESTBATCH001</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Agreed to terms and conditions?</strong></td> <td>Commercial I have read and understand the terms and conditions </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> </body> </html>

 

Whereas when I take the same email, and manually forward it to myself, extra HTML gets added (understandably so):

 

 

 

<html>

Apologies for the amount of HTML. The second pasted HTML actually works with the HTML to text action, and returns each line or form field on it's own line, followed by the form response, on it's own line.

 

The first pasted HTML code with the html to text action returns a long paragraph with no spaces or lines between the field names and responses.

 

Annoyingly, I don't have access to create sharepoint lists here, our organisation isn't using Sharepoint in such a manner currently.

Hi @trand86 ,

 

From your description, it seems that you are trying to convert the email from HTML to text.

 

However, if the email is forwarded to a specific folder automatically using rules, the action “HTML to text” won’t work as expected. If the email forwarded to the specific folder manually, it works as expected.

 

I have made a test on my side, however, the return results of the both way are the same.

 

Could you share more details on the flow to help reproduce this issue?

 

Best regards,

Mabel

Hi all, been out of action for a while so catching up with my Flows.

@v-yamao-msftwhat I mean is that if an email arrives, and you manually hit forward in outlook (for example forward to yourself) then the HTML that gets returned in Flow has more HTML padding in it than if Flow picks up the email upon arrival - when this happens the HTML is very minimal and thus the HTML to Text Conversion misses out all the line breaks in the HTML.

 

I'm missing my original examples now so hard to show what I mean.

 

I have managed to get around the problem by re-writing all of my expressions to index all characters including those HTML characters. It's not ideal but it works.

Hello,

 

I am facing the same issue.
Can you guide what you did to get rid of this issue.

Will it be possible for you to share index & expressions you have used along with html data so that I can related & make the necessary changes.

I'm having exactly the same issue. Was this ever resolved. The HTML in the body of the original post email is different to the HTML of the same email when forwarded. When the HTML to Text action is used it incorrectly translates the HTML of the original email resulting in lost data.

The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community!
