Posted on by nandinik123 2

Hello,

 

I am developing a code to get outlook Viva email view in Powerapps screen as shown below

Then, I am inserting HtmlText to read the body of the Viva email.

However, I can only view the text of the body, while image embedded in the email can't be displayed.

Is there a solution to resolve the issues, as there are many cases of receiving emails are embedded with images?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @nandinik123 ,

     

    It's a bit tricky. Actually, the image stored in outlook body whose src value is a cid.

    Canvas cannot get the real image content via the cid.

     

    Luckily, power automate can get image content (datauri) via action 'Get Attachment' action.

    Finally, pass the content to canvas and replace cid with it.
