Important notice

This workflow is provided as-is. Please review and test before using in production.

Overview

The built-in Gmail node doesn't yet support embedding images within the body of the email, but you can pull this off using the HTTP node, and this template shows you how.

Requirements

  • A Gmail account

How it works

The workflow downloads an image, converts it into the format that the Gmail API expects (base64), packages it into a multipart MIME email and uses the HTTP node to send it.
