Sending a report with overlay tool is not working properly

Question

Hello all,

This is about the challenge #350.

I changed the case a little bit. No big deal, just I want to send the result message as an email message. So I just added email tool. However, the output is coming as on email body not as combined.

This is the result.

This is the email message.

I'm not able to find where is the problem? I create the image properly. But when send as email message, it doesn't. Either this is a bug or I'm missing something. Before reporting to support team, I want to hear your opinions.

Thanks

Not sure, if this was solved. Today while I was trying to email output a simile kind of use case, the solutions mentioned in the thread didn’t work for me as well. However, I was able to figure out a new solution which worked for me.

Solution: Output the overlay into a .png file using render tool. Then read the same png file using image tool and then output into email tool.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sill negative. I just added my company's SMTP server. Here is the result. The image file you created, is fine. I'm suspicious maybe this is Chrome Gmail issue?

hey @albert_alaluf

If you would like to send individual emails to people and dynamically adjust the names in the card, you can do something like the attached.

I've also added a layout too after the overlay which should help with the grouping of the images.

Hope this helps!
