How to embed images stored in my app into an email using SendGrid?

[Mark6921260]

I have images stored on the app that are displayed at times.

They are stores at the following location: files/views/assets/images/something.png

I am wanting to add a image from this folder into an email by embedding it.
I have tried the following:

However when the email is delivered I only get this.

Is it possible to take an image stored on my app and embed it into an email?

Hello Mark,

You put the relative url of the picture in base64 and of course it doesn't work.
Could you please specify, it will be html5 app or a hybrid app?

Hi Evgene,

This will be a hybrid app.

Hi Mark,

Please use full path URL;

Example:

pre

http://appery.io/app/view/b2e54cdb-3726-4f19-a8d8-5fd6a2eed5f7/files/views/assets/image/a_01.jpeg

/pre

Here you should replace "b2e54cdb-3726-4f19-a8d8-5fd6a2eed5f7" with yours "app id".

And "a_01.jpeg" with your image name.

Hi Alex,

Sorry I have a second job on the weekends, but I wanted to send you my 2 cents on adding inline images.
In the end, I took the path of not embedding inline images with my email for the following reasons:

1. Not all email providers allow inline images to be displayed in emails.

2. Because of a few jerks who choose to lace these images with virus, most email providers send emails with embedded images straight to the junk folder as spam.

   There a plethora of links to articles as to why you shouldn't embed images with your emails. Here is one- (http://emailmarketing.comm100.com/ema... ) .

   But maybe those at Appery.IO have an idea to implement this. They are really smart and helpful, as well as patient.
