# Overview

This article shows you how to export the content of a gridview in order to display it inside an HTML table for your custom notification.

In the `GRIDVIEW_IN_CUSTOM_EMAIL` sample process, we’ll be exporting the default gridview sample.

> **Note:** The sample process and code example are provided as-is. You can adapt the code if you want a different style instead of a simple HTML table.

# Implementation

1. In the form designer, add a new textbox field, which will contain the HTML table of your gridview content.

2. In the Form Designer code-behind, add the following code to create new event on the **Submit** button. This will be the event that generates your gridview’s HTML template.

3. Add the method that will be called by the event on the submit button. To do this:

4. On the **Data** tab, add your custom email template and use the value of your textbox field that contains the HTML table.

5. On your action’s **Notification** tab, create an additional notification that will use your custom email template.

A sample process can be found on the WorkflowGen GitHub community:
