X-Pack Watcher Email Action Formatting Question

[EricWS (Eric)]

Hi all,

I have the below watcher set up to email me when a specific condition it met. It emails the results related to what was found in the body of an email.

The problem I have is it sends it as a raw JSON file in the body of the email.

My question is, is there a way to format this nicer, i.e. maybe HTML so it is user friendly content embedded in the email that is sent?
