You may find that this does not work for you.  
If so, I recommend searching the forum for "gmail" and reading the first 5 - 10 discussions, there's sure to be a clue there.

And show us your flow so we can see what you have tried so far.

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil ✏ icon.
