Help edit embedded app view in email

[Gianlucapozza]

Hello, 

I'm having trouble editing an embedded app view that I want to send with a bot (or on command) when a new record is added to a table. In the screenshot below I would love to:

• Smaller header 
• Bigger pictures
• Clickable position (like a G-Maps lat/long field)

I can't find how editing pictures in email bodies works. Another solutions could be a template. Once I've set up this app view my goal is to make the receiver clik a button and change a counter that signals me that the activity was completed since I dont want to make another app or filtered views just to do that action.

Thanks in advance

In general , you could do a few things.

1. Create a dedicated detail view just for emailing purpose, so that you can do away with a large header that you require in normal detail view in the app.

2. In this dedicated detail view , you could have a show type VC of say section_header type to manage the font size of the header column. 

3. Your images seem to be of more height and less width. Please try to have square images for better display.

A sample below:

1. already done that, the screenshot I've posted it's from a dedicated view I've created to use only in this automation since I want the receiver to be able to interact with the app at some point;
2. This could be a solution to the header size problem;
3. Sadly all images are taken by smartphones on the field and having sqared images is not an option. 

I was thinking of having a view to interact with without images and embed those as email body or attachments in the email body. Is that possibile?

Yes, you could create a template that will have images with bigger size and send the pictures as email body . You could have a view to interact in a different email. However those emails - interactive email and image containing emails- will be different emails. I believe you cannot combine the two functionalities into one email.

What if I use the email body already integrated in appsheet? Right now that [F1] column is an image type column that is showed as link, but in text form so its not even clickable.

Sorry, I am unaware of an approach that could include images in the email body without using template for the email body.

You may want to implement the tip by @Koichi_Tsuji mentioned in the post below

Solution is pretty much simple. Just HTML img tag.

I'll try that! Sadly I'm missing basic knowledge about HTML. thanks

I've tried the HTML approach and I've encountered a couple problems:

• HTML formatted images are rendered only on android on mobile phones
• I need to be rendered in Chrome desktop as well
• I've made a deeplink using the coordinates of lat/long type. In app the field is working just fine but I'm not able to make it appear in embedded app views and in mail body the field appear as normal text.
