Air BBcode to HTML converter error

Hi ZQ,

I have just purchased your newly released plugin Air BBcode to HTML converter but I am getting an error when trying to send an email.

The BBcode is converting correctly as you can see in the final screenshot.

Here are the screenshots:

This may be a clash with the BDK email plugin.

Looking forward to a little clarity.

Thanks in advance

I’ve worked out what the problem is.

The conversion “result” obviously takes a few seconds to complete. If it hasn’t completed in time then you get the error.

I have tried a few things including pushing the result to a state first before sending the email and this works but also results in old versions being sent if you create an edit and try to send. What we really need is the ability to dynamically use the result of the previous step instead. This would automatically create the required delay until the result was rendered.

Either that or a way to clear the converters value once an email has been sent would also solve the problem.

Hi @shaun, thanks for reaching out.
Sorry for the late reply due to the weekend.

Regarding your question, I’ve tested Air BBcode to HTML converter plugin and it is working properly and it is converting BBcode to HTML and vice versa.

Concerning the BDK email plugin, unfortunately, we cannot verify it because it was not developed by Zeroqode and I don’t have access to it.

As a workaround for your case, I can suggest you use an HTML element to render the BBcode to HTML converter result and after that in your workflow under the send email action, inside the Body message, use HTML element dynamic data.

Please try my suggestions and let me know if they helped. :pray:
