Hi @kavyashree.sundar
We can do this multiple ways but i think the easiest way is using string manipulation.
for this Follow the following steps.

  • store your string in string variable as Str .
  • Use Str.Split(cchar("{"))(1).Substring(1,6) and store this in String variable.
    this way you will get INSERT.
    Thanks & regards

Hi @kavyashree.sundar

Here is what you can do:

  1. Use Get Text activity to get the value from the textarea. Let’s say the variable name is strText
  2. Use Assign. strText = strText.Replace(“INSERT”, “Your text here”) to replace the INSERT word with what you want to replace.
  3. Use Type Into activity to type it back to the textarea.

Thanks and regards.

Hi @kavyashree.sundar

A normal string would usually show up in a email as a straight single line. No formatting will be there.

In order to have formatting and nice paragraph and bullet points, you need to wrap the string inside html tags. This is required for email bodies.

Follow the below steps.

  1. Find a online free html editor where it allows you to type normal next in the required format and it will generate the html code for it.
  2. Get the html code and save it as it is in a notepad text file. This should also include your {INSERT} to add the values later.
  3. Read the text file onto a string variable
  4. Use string formatting and add the data you need for INSERT part. Here, if you need to add data as bullet points or on in different rows, again make sure to add it along with the required html tags to maintain the format…
  5. Now add it to the email sending activity and it will have the required format :slight_smile:
