Hi @Modia 

Good question.

There is this Zap action: Formatter > Text > Convert Markdown to HTML

Which apps are you trying to use in your Zap steps? (screenshots)

Hey Troy - 

 

I was trying to use this flow, but the html doesn’t format correctly in a docx file. I tried using a script to convert the markdown text to html as well as the formatter, but it is still just printing the html and not actually formatting. Any suggestions?

We would need to see screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context.
