  1. Read Images from Folder:
  • Assign activity:
    • To: imageFiles
    • Value: Directory.GetFiles("C:\YourFolderPath\", "*.jpg")
  1. Initialize HTML Body:
  • Assign activity:
    • To: emailBody
    • Value: "<html><body>"
  1. For Each Image File:
  • For Each activity (TypeArgument: String):
    • Values: imageFiles
    • Body:
      • Assign activity:
        • To: emailBody
        • Value: emailBody & "<img src='cid:" & Path.GetFileName(item) & "' />"

  • Assign activity:
    • To: emailBody
    • Value: emailBody & "</body></html>"
  1. Send Outlook Mail Message:
  • Send Outlook Mail Message activity:
    • To: "recipient@example.com"
    • Subject: "Subject"
    • Body: emailBody
    • IsBodyHtml: True
    • Attachments:
      • Collection:

Directory.GetFiles("C:\YourFolderPath", “*.jpg”)

As mentioned here:

Decide if you want to send the images

  • as Attachments
  • embedded

If further assistance is needed let us know which option (Attachment, embedded) is to address

UPD1 - about embedding
we do embed the images by the Base64 approach because of:

  • the file is located on a particular file system location (reachable by the sender)
  • the file is not located at the receivers end
  • so we cannot use a <img src="PathOnFileSystem"

UPD2 - alternates / Options:

4

Embedded images required in outlook body

5

then have a look on the attached resource on how it was done with the Base64 embedings

in general it is about

  • retrieve the filepath of the images, which are to send
  • construct HTML / HTML Fragment (and also generate the Base64 string
  • Send email

Depending on the details / which mail sending (Outlook, GMail) it will work or is blocked, as it is not supported

UPD1 - Reference Added

we recommend to check:

  • the used Mail Send Type (Outlook, GMail…) and check what is supported
  • then choose the approach: e.g. CID, Base64 …
