How to Create HTML Email Message in SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflow

In a SharePoint Designer 2010 workflow HTML email I was frustrated because I was unable to add images and tables directly from the editor. I thought rich HTML is not supported with this version but I found a quick way to add rich HTML in an email body message.

Use the following procedure to add images in a SPD email body in 2010

• First create your HTML in Dreamweaver or Visual studio 2010 or any other HTML editing tool
• Then open your workflow in SPD 2010
• Add a “Send email” workflow action from the ribbon
• Keep the “Send Email” action selected/highlighted
• Then navigate to the ribbon and select the advanced properties
  
  
   
• Click advanced properties Select last option Body
  
  
   
• Click on the button (...) to open the text pad
• Paste your HTML including head, body and HTML.
  
  
   
• Click "OK" and open the action from the workflow step.
• Done!
