HTML styling email sent by Gmail "send and wait" node

問題

Describe the problem/error/question

I would like to use HTML to style an email I’m automatically sending from the Gmail “send and wait for response” node. Unlike in the regular Gmail “send message” node, I do not see an option to select “HTML” as the email type in the “send and wait” node. Is there a good workaround for this, or any reason the option is not made available in this node?

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @adminasst i think for that you need to use a regular gmail send operation and there you can give a form link which user can fill for the information you are trying to take in HITL gmail.

As send and wait gmail node does not actually supports HTML directly in the message field, same with attachment operation as that is also not available in send and wait, consider using classic gmail send node and there attach a n8n form trigger link that would be a better case if HTML formatting and file attachments is very imp.

thanks all, I think the HTML injection approach will work best for this use case. will give it a try, if it doesn’t work i’ll take a look at regular gmail + form. cheers!
