Embed image in a SharePoint outgoing email using SharePoint Designer workflow activities

If you need to embed an image into a SharePoint outgoing email:


<head>
<meta name="content-disposition" content="inline; filename=Myimage.jpg">
</head>

  • Format your email, and then to insert the image, create a div tag at the bottom of the email string:
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="Myimage.jpg" alt="myimagelogo" />
</div>

  • Add the action: Send Email with List Item Attachments
  • Attach the image in the activity, with the same name as used above (Myimage.jpg)
    • In mine, I always want to attach the same image in every outgoing email, so I uploaded an image to a SharePoint document library and I attached the image based on the specific title it contained
  • In the email body of the action, add the workflow variable: emailBody
  • Save, publish and test it out!

  1. I tried and it work well in Outlook. How can we have this to work let say we want to send the e-mail to an outlook.com or gmail.com account. With these kind of account, the file doesn't show... It shows only as an attachment.
