I have a Task that sends an email to a list of users via sendgrid_basic_send.

The sending works fine.

My question is about the email body. I created a text variable and entered the body text into the value field. This is basically a string of text. Is there a way to format the text, e.g. new lines? I need 2 or 3 lines of text.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Usually I'm creating a structure of the email in sendgrid dynamic email and put parameters wherever I need some dynamic text. If in your case a fair share of email content is static across the users you are sending it to I would suggest to explore that path.

    Sengrid's basic send, without a template, uses HTML that you pass within the content object.

    I pasted the value from their cURL example found here. I then formatted it with jsonlint.com for easy reading. Hope this helps :)
