Send Email Screen with Image

I am trying to use the Power Apps default email screen.

I can get the email to send.

I want to send an image with the email.

However, when I add an image (the Add Picture Control shown on the right) and
send, the email presents the long blob storage string rather than the image.

What am I missing?

How do I update the formula so that the image appears in the email?

Also, is it possible to use the Gallery shown with an 'Add Picture' control within
in the send email scenario?

Set(_emailRecipientString, Concat(MyPeople, Mail & ";"));           
Office365Outlook.SendEmail(_emailRecipientString, TextEmailSubject1.Text, 

"<img src="& JSON(UploadedImage1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) & 

"></img></br></br>"& RTE_Body.HtmlText, {Importance:"Normal"});

Try using Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2

to send actual HTML in an email.

Also, you don't need the </img> for an HTML image element.

Switched to V2. No more error, but got the same blob string, whether I used the gallery or the stand-alone 'Add Picture' control.

Tested the following.

Set(_emailRecipientString, Concat(MyPeople, Mail & ";"));

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(_emailRecipientString, TextEmailSubject1.Text, JSON(UploadedImage1_1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData) & RTE_Body.HtmlText, {Importance:"Normal"});

Reset(TextEmailSubject1);

Reset(RTE_Body);

Clear(MyPeople)

Hi @Phineas

In addition to calling V2 of SendEmail, you'll need to strip the enclosing quotes that are included when you call JSON.

The formula that removes them would look like this:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(_emailRecipientString, TextEmailSubject1.Text, "<img src="""& Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData), """","") & """>"& "test", {Importance:"Normal"});

To clarify what Mark Nanneman says, you don't need the *closing* image tag ("</img>"), however, the image tag is still required for the image to appear.

Yes, that worked. Thank you.

Can the Gallery with an Add Picture control (for multiple pictures) be used in the same way. with an updated formula?

Or can two or three 'freestanding' Add Image Controls be strung together in a formula where more than one image
needs to be sent?

Hi Phineas,

I'm glad that worked.

Yes, that's possible to send multiple images. Taking the easier example, the formula with 3 'freestanding' add image controls would look like this.

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(_emailRecipientString, TextEmailSubject1.Text, "<img src="""& Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage1.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData), """","") & """>" & "<img src="""& Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage2.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData), """","") & """>" & "<img src="""& Substitute(JSON(UploadedImage3.Image, JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData), """","") & """>" , {Importance:"Normal"});

With a gallery, you would ForAll through the gallery's AllItems property and build the <img> tags from within.
