Step 03 – HTML’ize

I wanted to format the SharePoint List content as a table and, MS Teams message supports HTML. So I will create a header and assign it to a new variable.

Step 04 – Convert SharePoint rows to HTML rows

Next step creates each row from SharePoint to corresponding <TR>s. You can choose to omit or add any columns as per your requirement.
