There is an out-of-the-box default email template that you can use, or you can copy the default template to use as the base for a new email template.

Important Notes

  • When you use an expression that contains HTML content (such as form data, HTML forms, HTML controls, rich text editors) in the body section of the Email Activity, you need to wrap the expression inside {{= }} to render the expression in HTML format. For example, {{= {Form1}.Query("Form1")["Editor1"] }}.
