Format Text with Markdown in Nash Notifications

Last updated: August 16, 2026

You can format the text of your customer notifications with Markdown — a simple way to add bold, lists, links, and more using plain text. Type the Markdown in your notification message and Nash renders it when the notification is sent.

Note

How formatting appears depends on the channel. Rich channels (like email) render the styling; a plain-text SMS shows the message without it, so keep SMS messages readable as plain text and rely on Markdown mainly for richer channels.

Supported formatting

Format Type this You get
Bold **text** text
Italic *text* text
Strikethrough ~~text~~ ~~text~~
Heading # Heading, ## Heading, ### Heading Bold heading text, largest to smallest
Bulleted list - item (one per line) A bulleted list
Numbered list 1. item (one per line) A numbered list

Divider --- on its own line A horizontal rule
Table Markdown table rows A simple table

Tips

  • Put list items and headings on their own lines, with a blank line before a list, so they render cleanly.
  • Keep links short and label them clearly — some channels show the full URL.
  • Preview a notification before you rely on it, since each channel renders a little differently.
