Does Zapier still support images in html emails for Gmail?
I am using publicly hosted images with the <img src=”url.png”> html tag and the images do not populate in the email when testing the zap.
I am familiar with hosting images and code. And Always display external images is on in the Gmail account I am using to test the Zap. It seems to be something on Zapier’s end and leads me to believe it is no longer supported.
Hi
Good question.
Yes HTML img tags are supported in Gmail.
Make sure to use the correct version of the publicly hosted image url.
It needs to be a direct download link.
Can you provide the image you are trying to use?
You can also test your HTML on HTML viewers: https://codebeautify.org/htmlviewer/
I’ve figured out the issue on my own.
For anyone having trouble as there is no ‘How-To” about what Zapier allows in terms of HTML emails.
If you want to have an image in an HTML email you have to include some text with the <,img src=”url.png”> tag. There is not way to have just an image populate upon sending without any text.

I’ve never encountered that issue with the img tag in HTML email formats.
