Attachments and Embedding Images when sending emails

Posted on by Astivey

I am trying to utilise Office365Outlook.SendEmail but having issues passing attachments and embedding an image in to the body of the email.

Firstly, I have an attachment control DataCardValue4 that I am unable to pass to the function successfully.

Secondly, I am trying to build the body of the email using elements from my app. The main thing that I am trying trying achieve is to embed an image that is collected from a Pen Input.

I am looking to build the body of the email using:

Input_Summary.text

Input_Name.text

PenInput1.Image

DatePicker1.SelectedDate

My main focus here is how to successfully get the pen Input in to the email body as PenInput.Image just gives me a blob text string.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Astivey

Convert the Pen Input image to a base64 string.

JSON(PenInput1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData)

Create the email body HTML, embedding the Pen Input image:

"<html><body>" &
"Summary: " & "HI" & "" &
"Name: " & "Hello" & "" &
"Date: " & Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "" &
"Signature:" &
"<img src=" & JSON(PenInput1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) & " alt='Signature' />" &
"</body></html>"

Use the Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2 function with the formatted attachments:

Office365Outlook.SendEmail(
TextToEmail.Text,
TextEmailSubject1.Text,
"<html><body>" &
"Summary: " & Input_Summary.text & "" &
"Name: " & Input_Name.text & "" &
"Date: " & Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "" &
"Signature:" &
"<img src=" & JSON(PenInput1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) & " alt='Signature' />" &
"</body></html>",
{
Attachments: Coalesce(
RenameColumns(
DataCardValue27.Attachments,
Value,
ContentBytes
)
)
}
);

Thanks!
