Line breaks in description using Alert API

[Bill Grubbs]

Is it possible to add line breaks to the description field using the Alert API?  I've tried using /n and </br> but those don't seem to work.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi @Bill Grubbs ,

Just completed a few tests via Postman, and was able to get this format working to account for line breaks:

"description": "Format for line\n\nbreaks\n\nRelated to Community Post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Opsgenie-questions/Line-breaks-in-description-using-Alert-API/qaq-p/1874638?utm_source=atlcomm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=immediate_general_question&utm_content=topic"

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @Bill Grubbs ,

Can you just check with <br> for line breaks instead of </br>

Thanks,
