How do I mail a whole list of todo’s via an action? I end up only sending one. ---

How are you building the list of Todo’s? My initial thought would be a joined list and a mix of html somewhere in your flow, but I’d probably need some more context to say for sure. ---

At the moment I have an app with persons / teams / tasks / types. So I let people add tasks on the front page where they choose team and type (to do / to ask / to decide / done). So it’s a really plain list. Ideally I would want to automatically send the whole list (without the done items) to of team-related tasks to team-members. So management only receives management related tasks, etcetera. ---

Note that the email notification, no matter its content, would need to be triggered by a user since time-based action triggers aren’t yet available in Glide. ---

That’s fine too to start with! ---

As I alluded to in my post earlier, If it was me I would create HTML for each task. I would use a template column to create HTML table rows (TR and TD tags). Then I would use a Joined List column to merge them all together, and wrap that result in html TABLE tags. Finally I would send the HTML table to the email. If you want something simpler, then just use the Joined List column with a CRLF separator instead of a comma. ---

Yeah, I need the simple version because the other is too complex for me 🙂 Thanks, I didn’t realise this was a complex question 🙂 ---

You can only send text to an email. The goal is to get multiple rows of values into a single ext value. A Joined List column will do that. Making it pretty is part that can get as complicated as you want it to be. ---

Thank you! In this case it can be just a list of lines, so I should be able to do this with your advice. Thanks!
