Embedding image into new email, where image is from previous email

Posted on by ryans32229

Hi all,

I'm currently triggering when an email is received, then trying to grab the attachment from that email and send it out embedded in the body of a new email. Here's my current flow:

I want to use HTML in the body of the outgoing email (I have HTML turned on in advanced options). How do I integrate the dynamic content from the incoming email into the HTML of the body of the outgoing email? Testing the above only fills the email with symbols.

Thanks

Hi @ryans32229,

You couldn't insert the Content dynamic content of the trigger in the Body field of "Send an email" action to Embed image into new email.

Embedding image into a email body is not supported in microsoft flow currently,

I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/idb-p/FlowIdeas

As an alternative way,please take a try to send the email as an attachment of the new email,the sceenshot of the flow as below:

Best regards,

Alice

Hi @v-yuazh-msft

In this thread they are able to embed an image into the email body: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Flow-Discussion/insert-picture-outlook-body-message/td-p/63214

Are you saying it's not possible for dynamic content from the trigger? In that case could the Flow save the attachment to OneDrive or Sharepoint and then look for it in there, then embed it as in the above thread?

Thanks

Hi @v-yuazh-msft

I see, so in the thread I linked, Flow has removed the functionality to embed an image into an email with HTML?

Alice,
Your statement:

I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

seems absolute. Could you provide a link where this position is clearly stated by Microsoft?

Thanks,
Stephen

The best way is to attach the image as attachment and add some html code to your body where you want to display the image.

Step 1:
use "Send an email (V2)"

Step 2:
click on "</>" in the body field to show the HTML editor.

Step 3:
Add the following code: "<img src="header.png" alt="header" />"

Step 4:
Add an attachment:
Attachments Name - 1 : header.png
Attachments Content - 1: content of the image

You can add as many image as you like 🙂

@Anonymous You have the real answer to this question. This answer worked like a charm and was simple to do. Make sure y'all use binary as the file content. May use the base64ToBinary() expression
