Hi,
I created an email watcher witch html-body. Some of the logs I am returning with ctx.payload.hits.hits have html tags in their value:
Is there a way to escape the return so the tags in the value are displayed as tags in the mail?
logValue: "someDetailAboutHTML \*"
Thanks vor helping.

Hi, if you are using the "email action" you should check out the documented attributes:
> **[Watcher email action | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.11\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/actions-email.html#email-action-attributes)**
> `body` : The body of the email. When this field holds a string, it will default to the text body of the email. Set as an object to specify either the text or the html body or both (using the fields below
> `body.text` : The plain text body of the email. The body can be static text or contain Mustache [templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/how-watcher-works.html#templates).
> `body.html` : The html body of the email. The body can be static text or contain Mustache [templates](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/how-watcher-works.html#templates). This body will be sanitized to remove dangerous content such as scripts. This behavior can be disabled by setting `xpack.notification.email.html.sanitization.enabled: false` in `elasticsearch.yaml` .
If you are using `body`, you can try using `body.text`
