When I send an email using “Send Email” action, I no longer see any formatting applied. Specifically line breaks but there was previously some basic formatting like a border around the div that the body of the email was in. I use a template column to generate the body of the email (which has worked fine in the past). ![Screen Shot 2022-10-12 at 10.17.19 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/f/dfdc4f34202f91a736cb50a3b6788385a7e7d919.png) ![Screen Shot 2022-10-12 at 10.18.48 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/9/79f752926994ff8acbb52abdf17bdf0e3132ecbe.png) Has something changed? How do I format my emails with at least line breaks? ---

Have you tried re-entering line breaks by hitting enter in the text? Or shift+enter? ---

Tried: - shift + enter - enter - Also tried formatting text in text editor and then pasting into Glide’s data editor (see screenshot for column I’m using) ---

I use Make for all my email needs, and I always use basic HTML tags to apply formatting. I’ve not tested, but I’d imagine that should work equally well with the Send Email action. - `

` - paragraph break - `
` - line break etc… ---

Thanks, I need this to work using a template column so I’ll give that a go. ---
