Google WorkspacesIf your Plane instance is not accessible on the internet, Gmail may block profile photos or other embedded images in email notifications. This occurs because Gmail uses Google’s secure image proxy to serve images for security purposes.To resolve this issue, you must configure the Image URL proxy allowlist in your Google Workspace settings to include your Plane instance’s URL. Refer to Google’s documentation for instructions: Allowlist image URLs.
