Render tool with structured text

[AbhijeetChib]

I need to add contact details to the body of an email which also has a table. I am using the render tool to add these details in the bottom of the table in this format 

I am not able to structure the emails in this way. Its all getting jumbled. 

Any  ideas ?

Hello @AbhijeetChib 

If your trying to send an email and want to structure some text within the email body, I'd suggest using the layout tool. 

Here I've combined two separate text elements and a basic table, using the layout tool, to achieve the following.

Now that I have the email body formatted as I would like, I then feed it into the email too, making sure to select the relevant field in the body section:

This should then keep any formatting you had, when you try to send the email.

I've attached the workflow below (with the email tool removed as it contains credentials).

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

@Pilsner thanks for your response. 

I think i may not have made myself very clear. Lets try with your example. The place where you have "Thanks for reading this email" I need to have the list of these emails there but grouped in 2 lines with 3 columns as show in the screenshot I shared.

Hello @AbhijeetChib 

I appreciate your example. Thank you for clarifying. 

At the moment, it looks like you have your emails within a "Report Text" tool. To ensure the table-like formatting is kept, I would suggest inputting this data into a text input i.e:

 

Once you have input the data in here, you can feed it into a "table" tool and then deselect the option of "show headers". You can also edit the table formatting further by clicking on the default table settings button.

In here you might want to remove the table boarder

Once you have formatted you table, you can feed the table, along with any other text, into the layout tool. In here you can select the order in which the different elements appear. If you want the message to appear above the table, you may want to configure the layout tool as follows.

Here's what the formatted data looks like in a browse tool: 

 

 

Here's what it looked like when I received it via email:

Does this look more like what you were expecting?

@AbhijeetChib Using the table tool with your email listing will put it in the format being passed through, if you have data 3 columns and 2 rows, the table will be 3 columns and 2 rows and be just like @Pilsner showed.
