AppSheet can automatically create email templates with just a single click, and all the column names are added to the template:
And you can manually edit the template to show before/after values:
But if you have a huge table with 100 columns and want to list ALL the before/after values, it’s going to take a lot of manual setup.
I’ve automated this with a template generator.
Just paste in the header row from your table, and then copy the output back to the email template.
The sheet is public, so anyone can make a copy and use it with their own tables.

Would it be possible to make a full app history with something like this with table name, column name, before value, after value, timestamp and useremail or something? has it been done before?

Good idea! You could set up a separate table (or app) to store an archive of changes, and only log the fields that were updated, along with the timestamp and USEREMAIL(). That would give you a full history of changes, without storing a full copy of the row every time.
Another option would be to add a [Last Edit] column to the same table, and save the template result back to the row using an Action. Then each row could store a snapshot of the last time it was edited.

‘<<_APPNAME>>’ To registered a modification in the table ‘<<_TABLENAME>>’, Responsible for the modification ‘<< USEREMAIL () >>’, Date << NOW () >>
