2518498 - Notification: Image added in template is not working

Symptom

It was added an image to a notification temaplte using the Insert Image option in the Notification Editor and it was provided the link of the image (e.g. from Google Drive). However, when the email is triggered to the users, the image doesn't load.

Cause

The link added to the template do not have any extension at the end of the link due to which it will not work. The image path should always end like .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG

Resolution

For images to load fine in the email you need to provide the full path with extension of the image, so place the file in a server where it can be accessed using full path. Example: http://www.******.com/image.png (where ****** is the server in which the image is stored in).

Follow the same steps mentioned in the above 'Reproducing the issue' section and update the Source in Insert Image option with full path.

IMPORTANT: The image URL being added to the notification template should be publicly hosted on the internet not just on the local system. It should be accessible without asking for any credentials. More details about it at 2258281
