Inline images in a generated email

Use case

Within the Send email post function you have the possibility to attach the issue attachments to the created email.

In the following use case we show an approach to not only attach images, but also add them as inline images to the email.

This use case only works with images as attachments!

Add the Send email post function to the desired workflow transition or create a new transition.

Define the basic configuration with the required parameters needed to execute this post function.

Enter a plain text and optionally use Field codes for the subject of your email.

Choose HTML

Enter the following expression:

{{{"<p><img src=\"cid:" + replaceAll(%{issue.attachments},", ","\"></p><p><img src=\"cid:")  + "\"></p>"}}}

This way, all attachments will be added as inline attachment.

Make sure that there are only images attached to the issue. Otherwise this won't work properly.

Choose All issue attachments

Choose other and insert "png,jpg" in the appearing input box.

This way, file types like PDFs, or doc files will be ignored.
