Hi,
I’m currently trying to figure how to customize the look and feel of an e-mail notification from a custom workflow built in SharePoint Designer 2010 to match our corporate communications branding. Â I believe that this can be done using html code in SharePoint Designer but I’m not sure where and how this code should be added within the workflow editor in Designer. Â Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
Amy
I have done this in the past. When you set ‘action- then email’. Click on the drop arrow and select ‘properties’ (or click advanced properties in the ribbon after highlighting the email action). Then click on the ‘body’ parameter. The click on the string builder; here you can add you html code (pictures), but be warned, if you edit the email message, change recipients, etc. this will break any code you added here. The best way to add pictures (branding) to your email notification is to use ‘Workflow Local Variables’ (search this using Bing or Google). Create your variable names and you can then set them in your workflow steps.

There are tutorials online to help walk you through the above. I have provided a few links below as well.
