Hi JPC, I'm under the impression that JavaScript execution is either severely limited or disabled in most (if not all) email clients. So a live Google Chart is out of the question. One thing that you could do is to save an image of your desired chart via getImageURI <https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/printing>, however this will require you to first render your chart in a browser, capture the image data URL and embed that image in your email. Another alternative would be to use our deprecated image charts <https://developers.google.com/chart/image/>, which work by constructing a URL to a server that serves an image back.
