Hi @B8,

 

Looks like there are some typos in your expression. 

 

Can you try the below

replace(outputs('Compose_9'), variables('NewLine'),'')

 

If that still does not work can you change the variable to a decodeuricomponent function

replace(outputs('Compose_9'), decodeUriComponent('%0A'),'')


Happy to help out! 🙂

Hi @B8,

 

Can you share what you are storing in the Compose 9 action or share a bit more details on how you configure the Compose 9 action?

 

The error suggest it is not just text, but an array instead.

 

The replace function does not work with an array in the way we used it earlier in that expression.

Hi @B8,

 

Have you tried moving the Compose 27 action within the apply to each loop, directly after the Compose 9?

Hi @B8,

 

When the compose 27 is placed within the loop can you try this expression in that action:

replace(outputs('Compose_9'), '\n','')

 

Can you also share a screenshot of where (in which area of the email body) that \n occurs? I have not seen it in any of your screenshots yet.

Still it is not working 

In compose 25 my email body is written. in compose 27 i had added the replace which you have given i put it in the apply to each loop. and in my send an email i am just calling the compose output output('Compose_25') i had use Output('Compose_27') also but still i am getting this \n in my email.

Hi @B8,

 

Just a double check? You are using the br tag and html in your compose.

 

Have you switched the send an email action to code view, before you added the compose outputs?

Hi @B8,

 

Thanks for trying all the different things. I got a feeling I am missing part of your setup which causes this.

 

Can you share screenshots of the whole setup of your flow? From beginning to end with every single action expanded. So, I can see what expressions and fields you are using in your setup? I have for example not seen any of the SharePoint actions yet. That would be useful to see.

 

And can you also share your SharePoint list/library setup. I assume it is a list and what type of columns (single line of text, etc.) are you using in that list?

 

This will help me reproduce your issue and trying to find a solution for this.



Happy to help out! 🙂
