I am using Teams (beta) with Linux (Ubuntu). With Gnome terminal, there is a “copy as HTML” option, which embeds it and when I paste into Teams, it’s recognized.  However if i paste it into a text editor, the buffer became HTML code and when I copy/paste the HTML code into Teams it’s not converted, just showing as plain HTML code.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

Pls add my vote too. Very much needed for us.

Yup. Same, add me. Very sad I cannot format messaging … a string of field values is ugly as all hell when sending the data.

I was scrolling and scrolling hoping a resolution was found at the end.  Nope.  LOL.   @SamB , can I get added to the notification for this as well?  Thanks!

Hi all, +1 from me. 

Chat messages cannot send html or markdown. If I try to format a link like this:
 

then I get this 

 

Same for HTML. This is pretty lame as a link would make this much more convenient for readers of this message.

So sorry we missed your messages here previously @gaetansel, @Allanjjj, @cvelez, @GCS Operator and @ddaftech!

I’m happy to report that the feature request has since been implemented. So the Send Chat Message action now has the ability to handle both HTML and markdown notation in messages! 😁🎉

That said, please do let us know if you run into any issues in using HTML or Markdown with that Send Chat Message action. In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡

Hi @Julez! I moved your post to a new thread as it’s a little different to the original question and we can answer your question more clearly in a new post 🙂

 

The short answer is that html isn’t possible but you can add links. You can add links using something markdown language. Markdown is a common language across the internet and is another way to add formatting to text. 

 

To add a link to text using markdown, type the word or phrase that you want to link in square brackets, then the url in curved (regular) brackets, like this:

 

[here’s the text that I want to link](https://heresthelinkitgoesto.com)

 

GitHub have a super handy ‘cheat sheet’ for Markdown that I find helpful: Markdown Cheatsheet (from GitHub)

 

Have you tried out the new Zapier app in MS Teams? It lets you view, create, and edit Zaps right within Teams. If you look in the MS Teams app store you should be able to find it and if you’d like to learn a little more, we announced it in the news category a little while back. 

 

If you do install the Zapier Teams app, drop me a DM and I’ll add you to a group where you can share your feedback about the app in the Community 🙂

Hey Zapier - this has been something that is needed for over a year now. Do you know when this will be ready?

 

Is there any way to format a chat message?
