Mastering Text Formatting in Zapier: Bold Tricks for Workflow Enhancement

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Optimizing your workflows in Zapier not only entails automating processes but also ensuring that the textual content within your zaps is presented in a visually engaging manner. Making text bold can be an essential part of highlighting important information or instructions, particularly in automated emails or messages.


To make text bold in Zapier, you can't directly format text through the platform's interface, as it doesn't support text styling options natively. However, with a few simple workarounds, you can achieve the desired bold text effect.


One common method is through the use of HTML tags when your zap involves sending emails or messages that support HTML. In such cases, you can wrap the text you want to be bold with the <strong> or <b> tag. For example, you can use Hello, <strong>World!</strong> to get the text World! appear bolded.


Another method is by leveraging Zapier's 'Formatter' utility, which allows you to transform your text in various ways, including HTML conversion. When using the Formatter in your zap, choose the 'Text' event and select 'HTML' from the transform options, then use the appropriate HTML tags as mentioned above to format your text.


Remember, the applicability of these methods depends largely on the destination app within your Zap. Some apps may strip HTML formatting or not support it at all. Always test your zap to ensure the bold text displays as intended in the final output. Staying informed about the specifics of each app's text formatting capabilities within your workflows will enhance your Zapier expertise and the readability of your automated content.


In conclusion, making text bold in Zapier requires a workaround using HTML tags or the Formatter utility. Always test your zaps and consider the destination app's formatting support for optimal results. With this guide, you'll be able to emphasize key text elements, elevate your automated messages, and create more impactful zaps.
