Dynamic Employee Images Not Loading in Notification Templates

1

Problem

I’m creating birthday notification emails in ERPNext. The notification template works fine, but employee images are not loading dynamically.

What Works

html

<!-- Hard-coded path works -->
<img src="/files/IMG-20250313-WA0039.jpg" alt="Employee" />

What Doesn’t Work

html

<!-- This returns NULL -->
{% if doc.image %}
    <img src="{{ doc.image }}" alt="{{ doc.employee_name }}" />
{% endif %}

Setup

  • Document Type: Employee
  • Event: Birthday notification
  • Issue: {{ doc.image }} returns NULL even though employees have images in their records

Question

How do I dynamically load different employee images in ERPNext notification templates? Each employee has a different image URL.

What I Need

A way to get each employee’s image path dynamically instead of hard-coding it.

Any solutions or suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks!
