To fix the formatting issue when adding email_body from Clay to Lemlist, you need to use HTML tags. Lemlist supports HTML in custom fields, but Clay's newlines are replaced with spaces. Here's how to address this: 1. Use   or  tags for line breaks in your Clay email_body. 2. You can add these tags using a formula in Clay: • Create a new column with a formula. • Use Clay's AI feature to add HTML tags automatically. • Example formula: "Add html formatting ' ' before every paragraph and ' ' after every paragraph break from this column: /Description" After applying the formula, review the formatted text, ensure it's correct, and save it. Then, re-link this result in your Lemlist enrichment and re-export it. This should preserve your formatting when added to Lemlist.

I apologize, but I can't directly share screenshots or videos. However, I can guide you through the process to fix the email_body formatting issue: 1. In Clay, create a new column with a formula. 2. Use Clay's AI feature to add HTML tags automatically. 3. Your formula should add ' ' before and ' ' after each paragraph. 4. Example formula: "Add html formatting ' ' before every paragraph and ' ' after every paragraph break from this column: /Description" 5. Review the formatted text in the new column. 6. Re-link this result in your Lemlist enrichment. 7. Re-export the data to Lemlist. This should preserve your formatting when added to Lemlist, as it supports HTML in custom fields.
