Power Automate Embed an Image in Email Body

Learn how to seamlessly embed images directly into the body of your emails using Power Automate. Plus as a bonus see how you could also set those files as attachments. Giving you all of the options.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we will learn how to retrieve images from multiple sources such as SharePoint, Dataverse, Azure Blob Storage, OneDrive, and Office 365 user profiles, and embed them into your HTML emails using base64 encoding.

And because I like teaching, we will do it 2 different ways, using the Base64 expression and parsing the object.

Whether you're new to Power Automate or looking to enhance your flows, this guide will help you master the process of adding dynamic images to your email communications. Perfect for automating business processes and ensuring your emails stand out with embedded visuals. Watch now to streamline your workflow and improve your email design!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The SharePoint step worked perfectly. I am grateful

Thank you so much for this video. The timing could not have been better. I have a couple of Power Apps that are used in the business for collecting employee nominations for different awards schemes. They use sharepoint as the database and I use power automate to send nominees and managers congratulations on your nomination emails. Every year I have to re-do the image in email part of the flows and every year I can't just re-use the documentation I created to remind me how to do it as it seems to change every so slightly each time. Our app is due to launch on Monday for nominations and it almost went with no images in the emails! You have saved me! Thank you!

Hi - I have the problem that when I view this in the new outlook desktop version it cuts off the bottom of the image - any suggestions to why this is happening?

What about grabbing multiple images from azure and sending them all out at once in as attachment

I am not sure but I think if you wrap the file content or body with datauri() you don't need the data:image/png:base64

Brilliant. And I’ve been hosting pics on CDNs until now …. 🤦

Great work Shane as always. Can you try to send it to a Gmail address? This has been the major issue.

I created a flow in Power Automate where, when someone posts a new message in a Teams group, an email is sent containing the message content along with any attached images (sometimes the images are copied and pasted into the message). However, when I receive the email in Outlook, the entire message content appears, but the images do not load. What can I do to ensure that the images are properly included in the email?

.png file from sharepoint, size less than 1MB, and still not working 😕

I have answered same technique in recent interview...

Just wanted to highlight, this doesn't work in the new version of the designer. Microsoft's fault, probably a bug there... Switched back and it worked like a charm. Thanks!
