Table in Email Body

So, when you have a list of values and just print them, you see exactly what you got.

To turn that into something fancy, you need to turn it into HTML. That template needs a placeholder. Then you create an expression which creates the HTML output for a given list of values. Then call this expression to replace the placeholder.

Like I mentioned I already tried that , I was wondering if there was a different way of doing it without a template , just so I could try a different way.

Yeah ... so you are not following the recommendations and documentation I posted.

To get any reasonable formatting in your email, you need to create HTML.

I'm using the send-email smart service , in the setup tab I'm using the expression editor to show my list of names just;

pv!names ,

it sends the email but the format is what I need to change.

instead of having an email showing:

karen; kelly; amyl; amelia;camila

I want it to be shown vertically to recipient of the email:

1. Karen

2. Kelly

3. Amyl and so on.

sure. I'm trying to send an email with a list of names, right now when I send it shows as:

karen; kelly; amyl; amelia;camila

but I want it to be shown in the email body like a vertical aligned list:

1. Karen

2. Kelly

3. Amyl and so on.

my process variable contains this list as a list of strings.

If you want me to support you, I need you to share what you are trying to achieve, what you did and the outcome.

Thanks! but I tried a template but every time I create the table all the list just stays in one row.

Sure. You define the email content using simple HTML. I suggest to create a HTML template file adding some placeholders. Find some info here.
