Embedded image not showing in email body

Hey guys,

 

So I'm using Power Automate to send out daily e-mails with a couple of PowerBi images attached and I want to add some of those to the body of the e-mail.
I'm using the option Body as HTML with the following code: 

 

<html>
<body>
<p>Good morning,</p>
<p>Please find attached yesterday's Daily OPS.</p>
<p>Best Regards!</p>
<img src="file:///C:/Users/%User_Name%/XXX.png" alt="Apricus">
<img src="file:///C:/Users/%User_Name%/YYY.png" alt="Trend Graphs">
</body>
</html>


My issue is that when I'm on the most recent version of Outlook the images don't show. How can I fix this?

    Hi @llealsantos ,

     

    I solved this earlier this year and provide two paths forward.  One is if the image is stored in OneDrive, the latter is in SharePoint.  Both work well and fully tested - I am using both in production.

     

    Solved: HTML image in send email from shared mailbox - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

     

    Please mark as a solution to help others find this FAQ.

    What if I'm using the desktop version of Power Automate instead of the web version? Some actions you're using aren't available for the desktop app.
