Several Zapier products let you format text with markdown. You can use it in Zapier Canvas' text boxes, Zapier Forms' text components, and the Zapier Chrome extension reply message. This article lists the markdown syntax that Zapier accepts.
Bold
Wrap text with two asterisks on each side. Example: **bold text** renders as bold text.
Italic
Wrap text with one asterisk on each side. Example: *italic text* renders as italic text.
Headers
Start a line with one or more hash characters. One hash (#) is a top-level heading; two (##) is a subheading, and so on. Example: ## Section title renders as a subheading.
Lists
For a bullet list, start each line with - or *. For a numbered list, start each line with a number followed by a period (e.g. 1.). This will render the list with the correct bullets or numbers.
Links
Use the format [link text](URL). The link text appears within the content, and the URL is the destination. Example: [Zapier help](https://help.zapier.com) renders as a clickable link.
Inline code
Wrap a word or short phrase in single backticks (`). Example: `variable_name` renders as monospace text.
Code blocks
Place three backticks (```) on the line before the code and three backticks on the line after. Everything between them is shown in a code block. Use this for multiple lines or when you need to include backticks in the text. For example, the following block:
```
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
print(df.head(10))
```
will render as:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
print(df.head(10))
