Formatting issue in the Automation email containing project's updates happened in the last 7 days.

[Mohit Edupuganti]

I have set up an email automation using Jira automation for the reporter to receive email updates happened in the last -7 days in the project. The reporter receives all the updates in one single table. I am getting the table but there is a huge gap coming in the email above the table. I have attached an image as well displaying the a huge gap above the table. Below is the code I have used -

<strong>📢 Here are the latest updates on the Project: {{project.name}}</strong>

{{#lookupIssues.size}}

<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; text-align: left;">

<tr style="background-color: #f2f2f2;">

<th><strong>Summary</strong></th>

<th><strong>Key</strong></th>

<th><strong>Description</strong></th>

<th><strong>Status</strong></th>

<th><strong>Assignee</strong></th>

 <th><strong>Created</strong></th>

<th><strong>Updated</strong></th>

<th><strong>Issue Link</strong></th>

</tr>

{{#lookupIssues}}

<tr>

<td>{{summary}}</td>

<td>{{key}}</td>

<td>{{description}}</td>

<td>{{status.name}}</td>

<td>{{#assignee.displayName}}{{assignee.displayName}}{{/assignee.displayName}}{{^assignee.displayName}}Unassigned{{/assignee.displayName}}</td>

<td>{{created.convertToTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata").format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")}} IST</td>

<td>{{updated.convertToTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata").format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")}} IST</td>

<td><a href="yourcompany.atlassian.net/browse/{{key}}">View Issue</a></td>

</tr>

{{/lookupIssues}}

</table>

{{/lookupIssues.size}}

{{^lookupIssues.size}}

<p style="margin-top: 5px;">No issues were updated in the past week.</p>

I have tried using padding: 0 and margin: 0 to reduce/remove the space but it is still not working. What could be the issue?
