To add bullet points to your 26,000 messages in the specified format, you'll need to modify your existing formula. Here's a suggestion for the new formula: LBKS{{Message 3 Body}}?.replace(/ /g, " ")?.replace(/\n/g, "br")?.replace(/• /g, "li")?.replace(/^(.*?)$/gm, "li$1/li")?.replace(/^/gm, "ul")?.replace(/$/gm, "/ul")LBKSThis formula should convert your bullet points into the desired HTML-like format. It replaces bullet points with "li" tags, wraps each line in "li" tags, and surrounds the entire content with "ul" tags. Could you please share a sample of one of your messages in its current format? This will help ensure the formula works correctly for your specific case.

that formula made it add bullet points all over the email not just in the central point

To modify your formula and add bullet points in the specified HTML-like format for all 26,000 messages, you can use the following formula: {{Message 3 Body}}?.replace(/ /g, " ")?.replace(/\n/g, "br")?.replace(/^(.+)/, "/ul") This formula will: 1. Replace spaces with non-breaking spaces 2. Replace line breaks with "br" 3. Wrap each line with "li" and "ul" tags 4. Add opening "ul" at the start and closing "/ul" at the end After applying this formula, review the output to ensure it meets your requirements.

Write a short case study message in HTML format using this structure: First line: "{Brand} used {Product/Service} to:" Then give 3 short bullet points (in <li> format) describing what they achieved Then a closing sentence summarizing how they used insights or strategies to drive results. </li></ul>{Brand} Used {Product} to: <ul> <li>{Point 1}</li> <li>{Point 2}</li> <li>{Point 3}</li> </ul> {Closing sentence}</li></ul>
