How do I send emails formatted properly to a Slack channel?

[jonbstrong]

I was wondering if there is a way to take the contents of an email forwarded to Pabbly and format it properly to send to a Slack channel.

That means that the email body needs to be converted to markdown.

Cloud Convert is a service that connects to Pabbly that does this but it requires that a file be sent to it and it also outputs a file.

At the moment, I can't see how a file can be created, nor do I see how it can be converted back into the text required to send on to Slack.

Does the Pabbly team have any suggestions

We've tried to put the converted markdown of the email content that has been received in email parser step from here: https://codebeautify.org/html-to-markdown to slack. Unfortunately, Slack didn't support that as it uses slightly different markdown syntax for e.g. links in slack can be passed like <https://www.pabbly.com|Pabbly> where as other markdown syntax supports [Pabbly](https://www.pabbly.com)

Read more about their syntax here: https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting

If you find any tool to convert HTML to Markdown that will also not be helpful because of the limited support of Markdown syntax in Slack.

It is better to manually create the message in Slack action with dynamic values.
