Hi @Mike_Cheney

You will need to use the HTML setting in order to add formatting as you’ve described.

@Troy Tessalone thanks for the quick response.

That’s what I ended up doing. I used this text to HTML formatter https://wordtohtml.net/ and then just read through the html to find the sections of the email body where I wanted to insert personalisation from previous zap steps in and that worked.
