Sending tables from formatted text columns via automations fails

Your Setup:

  • SeaTable Self-hosted 5.3.12

Describe the Problem/Error/Question:

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a formatted text column
  • Fill that formatted text with a simple table (e.g. 2x2 cells)
  • Create an automation that sends a rich text mail, including the column’s content (the table as formatted text)

Our findings after various tests: The table is not rendered as HTML, but is sent as pure markdown:

| Projektbudget | | | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ✅ € 25: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (2024) | xkjlx8 xouix xoi bestätigt | | 🟨 € 1: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (2024) | XxxdxgxGFXGFFXgfxgfxfgxgfxfxgfxfxgfx |

Please verify, or tell us what we might be doing wrong.

We would probably just mark this as “not supported“. However, when doing the same with an action from a button column, the table (in the mail) is rendered correctly. Because the functionality seems to be there, it looks like an easy fix.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this issue.
