I need to add an image to Gmail emails that I’m sending via Make. I don’t have an easy way to host the image somewhere to then link to that location as the image source. Is it possible to upload an image to Make - ideally permanently, rather that during a scenario’s execution - and then link to that image?
Hey,
you can just pass the data (binary) as attachment. You can then include the files via content-id as mentioned here https://www.make.com/en/help/app/gmail#send-an-email-975546
Otherwise uploading the image at some point in your scenario is very easy using any integration you like. I don’t know if make.com supports image hosting.
But one hint: If you include many external links/files in your email, and the domain is not yours or “trusted” - spam-filters will more likely detect your emails as spam.

Thanks for the tip! Could you let me know which step I should use to upload the binary data to the scenario? I can see how to map the file once it’s there but not how to get it into Make.
To help you further, it would be nice to know where your image is created/stored before you will send it.
But, e.g. downloading first from a URL and then passing it to the email as attachment could be look like this:
(sorry, updated 
)
This repeats for every other integration where you have the image data.
NOTE: content-id should be a string, not Data.
UPDATE2:
This is also possible and maybe easier:
The problem is that the image isn’t hosted anywhere at the moment so I’m looking for a way to get it into Make.
Make.com is a automation platform and i don’t think that this is possible. Can’t you just upload it anywhere?
You can just use Google Drive or any other integration you love.
Maybe anybody knows more about hosting files on make.com, but i don’t.
