Is there an easy way to embed images in email body

[Twits_Rombaoa (Twits)]

hello everyone,

until now, i still don’t see any topic that guides on how to easily embed an image in html email bodies. i honestly believe that this should be a basic activity that is supported in uipath.

there are some posts and 3rd party packages, they are helpful so far, but if a company does not want to use those 3rd party packages, there are no other easy option to perform this.

any new ‘simple and easy’ ideas?

Hi all,

I found out that if I gave the ContentId the same name as the document without the path, the it worked for me.
Image=“C:\Temp\test.png”
ContentID=“test.png”

Hi,
Image needs to be converted to base64 string before adding it in HTML Body.

Logic :
BaseURL = Convert.ToBase64String(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(Image2))

[Gamesha.P (Gamesha)]

This worked for me perfectly. If anyone needs some tools to encode/decode images for testing purposes you can use Encode Base64 online

Hello @Twits_Rombaoa, @Gamesha.P, @AparnaGP, @Chetan_Gandhi, @Anders, @vandanaYadav, @Sourav_Anand, @carmen, @Jan_Brian_Despi ,

You don’t required any activity for this action. We can send an email with the image in its’ body of the email.

Please refer the below topic, you can get the solution from this Link

Note: Image files should be in main project folder, don’t place in any subfolders or somewhere else.

Hi there, did you test this between different mail servers? ie. Sending from Outlook, but receiving email in Gmail? I have the issue where this does not work no matter what method I have tried. Be careful that these images are only appearing on the same platform you send from.
