Hi
If you already have a link for the image .
Next step will be Compose variable and add this as HTML

<html>
<body>
<img src="Here add the link i.e. output of the previous step" width="300" height="200">
</body>
</html>

Now use output of this compose action in email.

Let me know if you need more help. and if it works for you, kindly mark it as verified answer. 😊

Sure, I'll break down the steps for you to achieve this using Microsoft Power Automate:
Initialize Your Flow: Start by creating a new flow in Power Automate.
Trigger: Select an appropriate trigger based on when you want this flow to run. For example, you might choose "Manual" if you want to manually trigger the flow or select a trigger like "When an email arrives" if this is part of a larger automated process.
Get Link for the Image: This step assumes you already have the link to the image you want to include in the email. If not, you'll need a step to retrieve or generate this link dynamically.
Compose Action: Add a "Compose" action to your flow. This action will be used to construct the HTML content that includes the image.
Inside the Compose action, you'll create the HTML structure. Here's the HTML you should compose:
<html>
<body>
<img src="Here add the link i.e. output of the previous step" width="300" height="200">
</body>
</html>
5. Use the output of this in the body of the email

The image must be sized correctly (otherwise it'll appear too large), be stored in a public location, a website is a better location than SharePoint for that, and be a format that is email friendly such as PNG or JPEG. Vector based do not work, generally.

The most consistent way I've been able to use is to

Get the logo from SharePoint using
Edit the HTML body of the "Send an email (VS)" action and include an image tag. The src attribute contains information about the image type and the base64 encoded version of the email (from the file). Make sure to choose the correct MIMEType (the one I was using was a PNG image/png - check here for a match to yours MIME types (IANA media types) - HTTP | MDN (mozilla.org)).

<img src='data&colon;image/png;base64,@{body('Get_file_content_using_path')?['$content']}' alt='Our logo'>

The HTML is finicky in the Outlook actions, so I normally use a separate Compose action for the entire email body, including embedded images.
