Formatting is a common problem inside the “Message” boxes for automation steps.
For example, when sending an email, they allow some HTML, but you have to send all the HTML in one line and avoid some tags.
Based on this Zapier article Slack allows “mrkdown” (a version of Markdown)
But when I test it, only a few “tags” work, so my guessing is:
Airtable tries to format the content of the messages and then escape some of the tags, so there is not an easy way to do it unless you connect directly to Slack´s API to format the message correctly.
My request for Airtable:
There should be an easy toggl button so you can use “pure HTML” (in email) or “mrkdown” in Slack so you can format better the content.
