I want to use Image tracker in my Emails to track recipients who opened the mail or not. I use mail merge on outlook, so how can I put tracking image? - image

We do multiple email marketing activities to numerous recipients every day. Thus, I was looking forward to track how many recipients have opened my email. My development team has given me an API, through which I can generate unique image links for all the recipients and send them through mail merge field. Currently, when I am sending emails to recipients with unique image links, the image is rendering in the email content but I don't get any insight in my backend API.
Usually, I use Mail Merge on Word to run the campaigns. And I use Microsoft Outlook as email operator.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME ON HOW TO INSERT A TRACKING IMAGE IN MY MAIL CONTENT ON WORD, SO THAT IF ANYONE OPENS THE MAIL, I GET HIS/HER DETAILS IN MY BACKEND DATABASE.
I tried to add the image in my mail content through the "IncludeImage" command on word and in the file URL I called the merge field from the connected datasheet. But when I am running the campaigns the image is appearing but I am not getting any tracking in my backend database.

Logic Apps Email Trigger - Get original Alias

Found a very similar question here: Email aliases not returned as "To" address in logic app
TLDR: From within a logic app "When a new email arrives" trigger, How do I get the original alias that the email was sent to?
I have a logic app that creates a ticket based off an email sent to an outlook box. Now I want to be able to choose aspects of the ticket based off of whether or not the email was sent to the mailbox itself or an alias of the mailbox. The problem I'm having is that by the time logic apps gets a hold of the email, the alias address has already been replaced with the actual box's address ("alias1#place.com" -> "actualbox#place.com").
The actual mail in the inbox has the original email's alias information in the headers, but I can only get them by looking at the properties in outlook. I've tried to get the original "To" internetheader information both within logic apps (by exporting the email to blob storage and looking at headers there) and with the Microsoft Graph API. Sadly, the email exported by logic apps doesn't have the alias information and Graph API has pretty much every header but "To". At least one other person has lamented the lack of To
That said, the actual email still has the original alias information. Can someone help me get that information in logic apps without jumping through too many hoops? A many hoop solution is welcome if none other can be found though.
Use the Export email (V2) action from the Office 365 Outlook connector. This will give you the full message with original headers (including the actual To address)!
The flow here is, trigger on the incoming email, as you already are, then add the export email action providing the message id from that trigger to pull this specific email.
From there, you you'll have one big "body" property which you'll need to interrogate to find the To address.
Caveat on this though, it doesn't work when emails are sent between mailboxes in the same Office 365 tenant. Exchange Online will "helpfully" go, "I know that address... this is the address you wanted!"
What API are you using? In Outlook Object Model / MAPI / EWS, you need to retrieve the PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS MAPI property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F)
We arrived at a many hoop solution.
The "Primary" email box now has some rules that look at the internet headers mentioned above (Message -> Properties -> look for 'To:').
If it finds an alias there, it will put the email in a corresponding folder for each alias.
Then we have logic apps listening to each of the alias folders which will then send the email's information to the _Core logic app that does the actual processing.

How to download many email attachments from gmail

I have a device that sends daily statistics as an attachment to an email address at gmail. A filter identifies the sender and sequesters the mails into a folder in the mailbox. Currently ~2000 emails have accumulated. I need to download these attachments so the data can be aggregated and analyzed. I supposed I could write a macro to move the mouse, click the right places on the screen, etc. but was wondering if there is a programmatic way to simply download all the attachments from all the emails in a folder.
You can use Gmail API to retrieve attachments:

Not able to Post attachments in Yammer via "Post to this group by email" Option

I have created one dotnet job (windows service) that use to fetch users date of joining and birthday from PeopleSoft and use to send an email to Yammer group with birthday or Service Award wishes automatically. It is working absolutely fine but whenever we tried to add images like ballon images, cake images etc on email it never posted in Yammer.
Can't we send any image with text on Yammer group?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks & Regards!!
You cannot post attachments via email. You will need to programmatically upload the file to Yammer and then programmatically post to the group and reference the file that you uploaded.
Look at the Yammer REST API at https://developer.yammer.com/restapi/ for more information on how you can accomplish file uploads and posting by API. Specifically, you will need to look at https://developer.yammer.com/restapi/#rest-messages.

HTML Emails wIth Images - getting weird results in gmail

I am sending a multipart email through codeigniter using Amazon simple email service SMTP. I am providing a plain text version of the email along with the HTML version and google show the following [image: ][image:][image:} on all the emails. Is there any way to get around this? I have seen this in any email I have received from another company so I figure I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?
To be clear the first few elements in the email are images, however this is no different than I have seen in many emails I receive as newsletters from other companies.
Let me know if you would like more detail, I don't really know were to keep for this one as any search or debugging has made any changes.

Outlook sent item internet header missing

I have written a C++ app that sync's Outlook emails with our central server DB. Incoming messages contain MessageID info in the internet header - I use this for key generation when placing the messages in the central DB. However, Sent Items in Outlook do not seem to have Internet Headers, so I am stuck for a static id I can use to generate a unique, static GUID for placing the message in the central DB. Multiple Outlook stores are being scanned for multiple users, each user running a copy of the sync program. To be clear, if Pete sends an email to Joe, the email in Pete's Sent Items folder needs the same id to be generated as the id generated for the email when it arrives in Joes Inbox folder - Pete & Joe are both running the sync software.
Does anyone know whether:
1. You can grab a static MessageID from a Sent Items email item
2. If not, is there another value within the Sent Items email that will be available to the sync app scanning the Sent Items folder, and available to the sync app scanning the Inbox that the email eventually arrives in.
Users could be running Outlook 2002 upwards.
Thanks very much.
The MAPI property PR_INTERNET_MESSAGE_ID is set for outgoing and incoming items.
