Inline Images in Email with Base64

🧩 Problem

Email templates need inline images; hosted URLs get blocked or expire. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

πŸ’‘ Why This Happens

Transactional email providers allow base64 but not remote downloads. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.
