Do you mean including images as an attachment on the email or embedding the images in the body of the email?

 

If embedded in the body of the email you’ll need to use HTML and the IMG tag: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

I tried the IMG tag, but for some reason I get the image placeholder, along with the ALT tag.

I’m thinking maybe it needs more time to download the PNG?

@Matthewzap Please provide a screenshot of how your IMG tag is configured.

@Matthewzap That looks correct.

Check the URL resolves to an image as expected.

Yeah, it works. I tried other image URLs to double check.

Thanks for the help. I’ll keep hacking at it. 


I am having the exact same problem! Still haven’t figured it out. Let me know if you do! @Matthewzap
