Is it possible to have the data that is in a collection be put into a text variable, preferably a multi-line text variable?
I have data saved in a collection that I need to be displayed in an email that the workflow sends. Placing the collection variable in the email does nothing (which I figured) but I haven’t been able to find any solution.

Is it possible to have the data that is in a collection be put into a text variable, preferably a multi-line text variable?
Yes, possible
Here is the basic logic to get you started.
- Are you able to use LOOPS to extract each item from the collection?
Collection1 = [“one”, “two”, “three”, ”four”, “five”]
tmpStr => extract item from collection - Are you able to declare an empty string?
Msg1 = “” - Are you able to concatenate strings and variables?
Msg1 = Msg1 + tmpStr + eolStr
// Msg1 => “one <br>” - Are you able to identify the EOL or line terminator?
For Logs/Console is “\n”
For HTML is “<br>”
eolStr = “<br>” //for HTML email
Then you should be able to create the following string Msg1.
one <br>
two <br>
three <br>
four <br>
five <br>
