Embedding images in an HTML body template

To embed an image in the body of an HTML email message, insert a tag in the body template as shown in this example: <img src="image.gif">.

Store the image file in the attachments field of the template. It is important that the image name that you specify in the <img> tag matches the file name of a template attachment. You can use attachments with one of the following file extensions as embedded graphics:

  • .gif
  • .jpg
  • .jpeg
  • .png

All files that are found in the attachments field are added to the body, regardless of whether they are used in an <img> tag. The treatment of additional files depends on the email client. Some clients might treat them as simple attachments, while others might display them at beginning or at the end of the email.

Note: Do not use a file path with the <img> tag.
