Display Document in Email using Workflow

Workflow

I'm wondering if there is a way to embed an image document within the body of an email produced by Workflow. Sample scenario would be something like...

1. Workflow retrieves an image file in Laserfiche.

2. Instead of attaching the result to an email using the email activity, it embeds the image within body of the email.

Thanks!

I used the following HTML to embed an image in my email activity in workflow: <img src=”cid:%(Entry Name).png” /> - which references the attached image and embeds it into the email. Check out this article for more information on how to embed an image in an email in this way.

Hi,

We are trying to get an attachment to appear in the email body as well but must be doing something wrong. We have used your code (as above) but cannot get the picture to appear and we have configured the attachment to be a PNG file.. what are we doing wrong?

Sorry, that example is wrong. There is no %(Entry Name).png. CID expects a base64 encoded image which Workflow does not generate out of the box. You could script it and return a token.

This might be better pointer for what could work.
