can we format html using javascript in power automate

[Suma27]

Hi All,

I have written a flow to send mail.

I have created HTML Table and I want the background color  to change based on the content of the cell.

Example:

If value=Red -> background color should be Red

If value=Green ->background color should be Green 

I have written java script for this using compose action

But this is not reflected in mails.

Your help on this will be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi @Suma27 

You cannot use javascript for styling in email actions. You can use the style tags though. You can check out this post for more on styling a table for email in Power Automate: https://ryanmaclean365.com/2020/01/29/power-automate-html-table-styling/ 

Hope this Helps!

Do we know if Microsoft intends to enable javascript within the HTML of Send Email?  I'm in the same boat as @Suma27 .  The only workaround I can think of is having a

IF value=Red -> background color should be Red" => run this workflow. 

IF value=Green ->background color should be Green  => run that workflow. 

This makes for a very ugly Flow!!

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks
