How to strip HTML from RSS to Yammer message

Question

I created a Flow that publishes RSS to Yammer. The RSS feed contains Azure DevOps status updates, provided my Microsoft.

Flow definition:

Actual result:

Question: How can I publish this RSS message without HTML tags in the message output?

Did you try the HTML to Text action at all? The feed at https://status.dev.azure.com/_rss has the HTML embedded in the feed so you'd need to clean that before pushing the text onwards to Yammer. — Brian Lyttle, Mar 06 '19 at 19:17
Thanks @BrianLyttle. Can you add that as an answer then I can accept it. — Bernard Vander Beken, Mar 08 '19 at 09:23
Don't worry about it. I learned something about Flow, and I'm glad you got your problem solved. — Brian Lyttle, Mar 08 '19 at 15:14

The solution is to use the Html to text action. To find this new action, search for HTML when you add an action.

Thanks to @BrianLyttle for pointing this out.

On a related note, you can insert the Html to text action by adding it as a last step, then use drag & drop to move it where it belongs. – Bernard Vander Beken Mar 08 '19 at 09:34
