Gmail to Slack

So I used to go directly into my gmail and forward messages to Slack. Obviously, now I want to automate that. However, when I automate, I get jumbled up text. When I directly forward from gmail, it sends the Slack message in a really nice format. Is there a way Zapier can do that?

Below is directly from gmail to Slack.

Compared to this when I try to forward with Zapier:

Hi @leemich8815, welcome to the Community!

 

If you’d like the ‘readable’ version of the email, select the ‘Body Plain’ field from the list of data that you get from the email trigger. 

 

I send emails to Slack and I also like to include the Message Url field so I can easily go to the email if I want to reply to it 🙂

 

​I hope that's clear, please let us know if you have any questions!
