Body preview in outlook from power automate flow

Posted on by ajeanjacket

Hello all,

I have a simple scheduled flow to send an email once a week that includes a picture in the body that is hyperlinked with a link to a form. I am wanting to see if there is a way to code in "alt text" for the outlook preview on the left, similar to when marketing emails come through.

Currently, the body preview is just the form link since there is no actual text in the body of the email.

Here's a screenshot of the html code I used in the flow.

I hope this makes sense, let me know if you need more information. I appreciate the help!

Dear A,

This seems to be a HTML question in which you can include an alternative text in the html code, something like: <img src="image.jpg" alt="Alternative Text">

Suggest you give it a try.
Happy flowing,
Koen

I tried putting an alt="" within the <img> after my dynamic content and it did not work.
I also tried title="" in both the <a> and <img> attributes and it did not work.
The only thing I got a success on was putting the alt text in-between the <img> and </a>, which is usually how you would achieve the alt text for just the <a> attribute. This works for my goal of changing the "preview text" in the email preview (see top email), however, now the text is displayed in the email body after the picture which looks silly/ redundant.

Have any solutions with this information? Did I take any incorrect steps? I appreciate any help!
