Hey Everyone, i’m playing around with automations where I want to generate pre-determined text into a rich text description field in a fibery entity. How do I go about embedding views in the rich text description with automations?

I’ve tried using the “\<\<” followed by the view name, but it doesnt work. See screenshot.

I should add, this is a view i’ve already created.

There is no way to use markdown to embed a view in a rich text field. It’s possible with scripting

Thanks @Chr1sG! Do you have any examples of this? I had a look through the fibery support guides ([. | Fibery](https://the.fibery.io/@public/search/2wUzq#User_Guide/Guide/Scripts-in-Automations-54)) and couldn’t find any example js code.

Try embedding a view manually, and then check out what the rich text looks like when exported (as html).  
Then you can probably reverse engineer what you need to do to embed that view into rich text somewhere else.

@leowhat did you succeed?  
And if so, do you have an example that you are willing to share?  
🙂
