How to add a GIF image in email body using Power Automate

Use the method I posted here Send image embeded emails to gmail (powerplatform.com). It is pretty much what others suggested below, except all of the code is in the HTML. It will look like this in your e-mail (don't forget to update the image type from png to gif):

This example shows the image as a link. If you don't want to use it as a link, update the HTML accordingly.

Not all e-mail clients support GIF images, so that may be the issue you are having: Can You Embed a GIF in an Email? Tips and Tricks | Pipedrive | Pipedrive. Note: this article could be outdated.

This didnt work for me. Got a blank email. I had saved the gif image in sharepoint location. Used below code
<img src="data&colon;image/gif;base64,@{base64(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])}" alt="Trulli" width="500" height="333">

Hi @Mohammed_Ishaq ,
This flow works for me.
Why won't it work for you.
Can you screenshot the email body? (or provide your complete flow)

Best Regards

Re: How to add a GIF image in email body using Power Automate

Hi @Mohammed_Ishaq ,
Could you please tell me:
1. The picture cannot be displayed in the mail?
2. Or flow execution failed?

I copied the formula, there may be reasons for the characters. Please try this:
<img src="data&colon;image/gif;base64,base64(outputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body'])" alt="Trulli" width="500" height="333">

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it.

@v-chengfen-msft Thanks for your quick response.
Can I able to provide gif image stored in SharePoint or onedrive? How will I be able to fetch in this case without the URI??
