Hi

I have a PowerAutomate that is used to create a lead based on an email. In the newly created lead the text from the email is put into a note.

This has worked perfect but last week something has changed. Suddenly the note is filled with the bydy in html-format tike this:

    Hi,

    Seems like Rich Text Notes are enabled in the Timeline.

    You can verify this using below steps:

    • Go to Advanced Settings -> Administration -> System Settings.
    • In the General Tab, you will find an option "Enable Rich text notes in timeline" at the end:

    Try disabling this option, if your flow works fine after disabling this option, we know the issue.

    I am not sure of the solution yet, but, this does not work at least in the PowerApps Portals (not sure how to handle this in PowerAutomate).

    You can find this in the Known Issues:

    Best,

    Yes, I noticed this too. It happened because an update was pushed that updated the Description field on Note with a Rich Text Editor instead of a plain text one the way it has been forever. So now all the text added to that field looks like this.

    I don't have a solution for it yet but I know it's happening. You didn't do anything wrong.

    Is there any functionality in PowerAutomat to convert the email-body to plain text?
