How to send individual Inline Images to Outlook/Gmail account using the Microsoft Power Automation from onedrive

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi,

 

I am new to this and currently working on a project where I need to send individual emails using Power Automation from Outlook. I have successfully achieved this using base64 encoding, but I am encountering an issue. The inline image I attach to the email is not visible in Gmail accounts, although it displays correctly in Outlook.

Is there an alternative method or solution to ensure that the individual inline images are visible to each recipient, regardless of their email client (Outlook or Gmail)?

To provide more context, I have the following columns in my data:

Name Email Image_Name

My goal is to extract images from OneDrive using the information in the Image_Name column and include these images in the individual emails I send to the corresponding recipients.

Your assistance and guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I tried with the follwing method but no luck to achive this in gmail account as it does not have the base64 support. Is there any other method to send an email from outlook excel sheet based on the Image_Name from onedrive.

Get File content - FilID

Compose -

base64(outputs('Get_file_content')?['body'])

    Hi @Rishi-Reddy ,

    Because there is a Response in the flow to be returned to this flow, only premium license can be used.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    What if I don't have a premium license to use the connector as shown in the below link?

     

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Embedded-Image-in-Email-an-oldy-but-a-goody/m-p/827573

     

    Is there any other way to create a custom connector to make HTTP requests, or is purchasing the premium license the only solution?

    Hi @Rishi-Reddy ,

    As I can find, base64 encoded images are not supported in Gmail (from years ago on).

    So please consider following the methods below:
