Hi all

I had created a power automate flow to automatically create a page in OneNote when email with certain subject keywords is fulfilled.
However, OneNote seems to have difficulties in displaying the inline image within the email body.
 
What would be the reason and how to solve it?

    You're encountering issues with inline images not displaying correctly in OneNote when using Power Automate. This can happen due to several reasons:

    Possible Reasons

    1. Image Format: The format of the inline images might not be supported by OneNote. Ensure that the images are in a compatible format like PNG or JPEG.

    2. Image Source URL: If the images are referenced via URLs, make sure the URLs are accessible and not blocked by any network restrictions.

    3. HTML Content Handling: OneNote might have limitations in handling certain HTML content, especially if the images are embedded within complex HTML structures.

    Solutions

    1. Convert Images to Base64: Convert the inline images to Base64 format before embedding them in the email body. This ensures that the images are included directly within the content and are not dependent on external URLs.

    2. Use Attachments: Instead of embedding images inline, consider attaching them to the OneNote page. This can be done by modifying your Power Automate flow to include the images as attachments.

    3. Simplify HTML Content: Simplify the HTML content of your email to ensure compatibility with OneNote. Avoid using complex HTML tags and structures that might not be supported.

    4. Check Permissions: Ensure that the images are accessible and that there are no permission issues preventing them from being displayed.
