Symbols in Email when Embedding PNG

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I have been trying to get a flow working that takes a PNG file from a PowerBI Subscription Mail (Image of a Report), Saves it to SharePoint and then sends out an Email with the Image of the report embedded. I have been experiencing a issue that I can't see the find a solution to anywhere for some time.

The above is the simple flow that I use to save the file to a SharePoint folder. I can confirm when looking in the folder that files are created and they are in PNG format that I can open when clicking on them so no corruption or issues there.

This is the flow I have built to embed the image. I have tried many variations of this including using the Base64 with PNG as the format and still it does the same thing when the email is received:

The symbols go on for pages and pages, in fact it always causes my outlook application to freeze up. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can try? Is there any alternative to the way I have been saving the image? I am really stuck with this and it's the last step for me to fully automate some reporting. Appreciate any help.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Aiden
