Trying to display an image file from SharePoint in HTML formatted email
In a SharePoint list, I have fields that are hyperlinks to images stored in SharePoint as well. I am using Microsoft Flow to format emails and want to see those images in the email (the images are essentially icon shapes).
When i look at the SharePoint list, they all display as correct images. However, I can't seem to get that image to display properly in the HTML formatted email.
Let's say the field name is imagename. If I use that name in the email, a text URL displays. So I tried <img src="imagename"..> and i got an image alright, but it could not be displayed. Is this possible a permissions error because of no access to SP or something in the HTML formatting, and how can I tell?
What is another way to accomplish this?

unless the permissions in SharePoint are set to share the file to EVERYONE then in order to access the file then it is restricted to users that are logged into SharePoint in that session

I had figured this out from the time I posted until your reply, but I can't share the folder to anyone!
It is a folder located in Style Library on the site (Someone built a SPD workflow and grabs one of the images located in this library and sores it in a list field, and I can't track down exactly where that happens as of yet). In any case, if the email goes to a SP user it's fine, but not if it goes to an external user.
The only share options are for specific users or someone who already has access (no change). I assume this is because it is a system library....
