 You can't use word template.

Then it must be .html or .txt, I would suggets you to go through this documentation. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/26.5/Send_Email_Smart_Service.html#using-a-template

Send E-Mail smart service, inline/embedded images are unsupported, so you cannot attach the logo and embed it directly. You must host the logo publicly and reference it in your HTML with an absolute URL

 What this produces is an HTML file that tries to contain the image file either as a separate file that's hyperlinked in the HTML, or is embedded within the HTML file itself (perhaps using Base64 or similar embedding techniques), neither of which are either supported in Appian or supported in general Email clients. As Shubham already pointed out, if you need to embed an image in your email, you'll probably need to hand-edit your HTML file and use an old fashioned <img src=....> tag where you provide a public URL to the image (like a place that's stored on your company's web server or something similar, which you could get to by just pasting the URL into your browser).
