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!
Your tutorial worked just fine and want to thank you for it. My image size for SharePoint was just fine and came through. I used the same steps in my actual flow where I have a 'condition' action and then a SharePoint list 'update' action before the 'email' action. So I placed the 'get file content' and 'compose' actions right above the email, after the condition and update actions, but this results in an empty image in the email. Any insight as to how to get this to work with these other actions?
Hey Shane...thanks for the video. Is there a way to dynamically get images from a SharePoint column to also put into the email? For example, selecting a Christmas card, uploading it and using it in the email.
Hi it worked well with a small file but won't work with big files. Is there a power automate functions to reduce a file size in order to be able to send in an email?
Thank you so much but in the flow i have to send email with 6 images almost,Text and Hyperlinks and i have those in word document and i have to repeat that with so many images for different sets of Hire date plus i have everything in the Word document ....Is there an easy way instead of doing Embed for each image and setting up the file content or blob?
Should be fine. If you know the images you would repeat like shown here. If you have to get them them with some type of query and then loop through the table of images. A bit tricky but 100% possible.
Hi Shane, i tried it using the SharePoint and it works fine via Outlook but when I tried to send it to my gmail account its not working. Do you have any suggestion to ensure that the images will be visible even for external recipients?
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!
@@ShanesCows Hello Shane, i have same Matthew problem. i tried method #1 (didn't work) and i dont have a premium license (as required). could you advise us how to make it work when sending an embedded image to an Gmail Account?.. Thanks in advance..
I haven't done that before. I start by looking at the email body and figure out what you have (url or base64) and then figure out how to make that thing what the the ticket wants. Good luck
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?
I am not sure, I have not messed with that scenario but I know the output from Teams can be funky. Could it be the images are too big? Since it only supports up to 1 MB base64 in Outlook?
@@ShanesCows Images added to SharePoint (placed in a folder) load without any issues, but there’s a problem with images that are copied directly. Additionally, the images don’t display correctly in the Outlook application; they only show up when I open Outlook in a browser.

Hello, thank for posting your videos. I would really appreciated if you could how to make it work when the destination email is a Gmail account. Gmail has problem when receiving base64 embedded imagen. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ricardo - I have never worked with sending emails to gmail. The only option I know is what Matthew shared here www.matthewdevaney.com/easiest-power-automate-embed-image-in-email-method/ if that doesn't work I am not sure what to tell you. Sorry
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?
I am not sure why. :( I used the new Outlook for the video without issue. Are you doing any size properties with the IMG or have a table or div that might be the real problem?

Awesome! I love to hear this. 😎 Congrats on your new app.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The SharePoint step worked perfectly. I am grateful
Glad it helped, have a great day!
Magic Shane 👏👏👏
Thank you Frank! I hope you are doing well. 😎

Great work Shane as always. Can you try to send it to a Gmail address? This has been the major issue.
Another person said that Gmail doesn't accept base64 😢 I have never had a Power App that needed to interact with Gmail so not super sure.
@@ShanesCows Okay. Hope you will take the challenge if ever you want to. Thanks for your videos and training sessions.
@@ShanesCows Yes, i have same problem with Gmail Account doesn't show embedded image. could you advise us please?
Hi it worked well with a small file but won't work with big files. Is there a power automate functions to reduce a file size in order to be able to send in an email?
No free action, but there are some 3rd party actions that let your resize an image to something smaller.
Thanks! Can.gif format also work?
I think it should work but didn't test. Size might matter but worth a shot.

Shane amazing but how i insert a list html table with all columns and image per id? One id can add many lines...
Brilliant. And I’ve been hosting pics on CDNs until now …. 🤦
Glad to help 😎
What about grabbing multiple images from azure and sending them all out at once in as attachment

Matthew has a different method that seems to work in Gmail www.matthewdevaney.com/easiest-power-automate-embed-image-in-email-method/

The new designer.... it has challenges for sure.
Thank you for the information...! I have been testing it in new designer for 4 hours...! Now I tried it in old and worked. Thank You...!
Shane needs help and can you create a tutorial regarding the embed image in Power Automate not viewable in Gmail?
Matthew has a 3rd method on his blog post that I believe works with gmail www.matthewdevaney.com/easiest-power-automate-embed-image-in-email-method/

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
Interesting, i will have to try that.
.png file from sharepoint, size less than 1MB, and still not working 😕
Can you get it working with a tiny file? Can you get it to work if you hard code the base64? Start there and then see if you can spot the difference.
I have answered same technique in recent interview...
Awesome.
