Hi Everyone,

I want to resize a column in a automation email I use.
My product code field is too large - and the description field is too small (causing the text to wrap).

I am inserting a grid into the email (a list will not work - there might be multiple rows).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Greg

Same thing here, tables attached to emails are not viewer nor printer friendly.

Thanks team for an update/advice

Hi Everyone,

I never found a fix, but what I did is shift the column with the most text to the end, that helped a little.
Problem will be if you have multiple columns with a lot of text.

Not sure if there's another answer but I found using the "Truncate" function helps to format for email and will adjust columns accordingly.

I have this issue too but have not found a solution. I wish Airtable added this feature to their automations allowing more user control over how the inserted grid of records is displayed (width of columns, order of columns/fields, etc). The defaults are ok but it would make a big difference to make the Airtable automated emails more visually attractive and user friendly.
