Embedding image in html body

ManojPatidar — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 10:47:00 GMT

Hi team,

I am trying to send a mail via Outlook.

I am embedding image in the html body.

Image is stored in my local machine.

When I am sending mail everything works fine expect the embedded image, which other person is not seeing.

I am using <img src="file path"> to embed image.

Please let me know if anyone worked with this or have any idea.

Thanks and Regards

Hello Manoj.

My suggestion is to embed the image after converting it to BASE64.

<p><img id="YourImageID"  src="data:image/png;base64, AddYourBase64StringHere" alt="Image Alternative info">
</p>

So your code will not depend of accessing your filesystem anymore.

Regards,

Flavio

Hi Manoj Patidar

A workaround is to add the image as an attachment to Outlook VBO and use <img src=""cid:image.jpg"">

Hi Manoj Patidor,

As suggested by Leonardo Soares, you need to attach that image and use image tag. i used in the past for both outlook VBO as Well as SMTP.

Hi Leonardo,

If i attached image into Outlook VBO, will it shows as an attachment into the email? like normal attachment used in our day to day life.

Or just help to embed image into the html body?

Thanks and Regards.

Hi Manoj,

Hi Manoj,

To convert the image to base 64 you can utilize the digital exchange VBO. Below is the link for the same.
