Download to PDF, convert to HTML, embed HTML in contents section of an email

We have a Power BI report that we are downloading to PDF.  We then use Power Automate to retrieve that attachment and email it to users.  We wish to ditch the attachment and make it the contents of the email instead.  We have attempted to convert the PDF to HTML in hopes of making that the email contents.  But Adobe premium does a poor job.  We hoped Encodian had some options to convert our PDF to HTML, and don't see anything there either (and we pay extra for Encodian too).  Similar to how Toast sends out weekly email summaries if you are familiar.  Again, what we like is the information being a part of the email, not an attachment.    See below snippet of the email from Toast.  This is right in the contents of the email (not an attachment).  How can we do that too?!Toast example.PNG

Hello @DougieK 

 

I think the easiest path should be to use Power Automate to export the Power BI dashboard or report as an image (e.g., PNG format).
• Embed the exported image into the email body using the “Send an Email (V2)” action in Power Automate.


pS : I haven't tried it by myself. Should work

Hope this helps
