Hello there, Saleshandy users! 👋

Are you ready to up your email game and make your sequences pop with awesome images? 🌟

Look no further! This super-easy guide will show you how to add images to your email sequences using Merge Tags. 🖼️

Step 1️⃣: Choose Picture Placement

First things first, where would you like to drop that snazzy image? It's your canvas, so pick a spot that feels right!

Step 2️⃣: Click on the Image Icon🚀

🖼️ Boom! Click on that nifty image icon in your email editor - it's your gateway to picture-perfect emails!

Step 3️⃣: Add the Image Source🧙‍♂️

Now, here's where the real magic happens! To add an image, you have to give it a source.🎩✨ We're talking about the URL of your image, folks! Wrap it with double curly brackets like this: {{URL}} 📦. We have used the custom merge tag scroll below to learn about custom merge tags.

It's as easy as making a sandwich! 🥪 Once you've got that URL snug and sound, hit "Save." 📥

🚨Important :

Merge Tag Creation (Mandatory): Wanna create that nifty merge tag for your image URL? No sweat! Head over to your email settings, find "Prospect Fields," and create a custom field with a name you won't forget. Use that in your merge tag magic! We have used the field name as the URL.

If you're adding a prospect, make sure you add a publicly hosted link in the profile section of Prospects in the newly created custom field.

Step 4️⃣: Test Drive Your Email 🚗

You know the drill - send a test email to yourself or your trusty sidekick to make sure everything's looking 🔥.

Remember, some email clients might be shy about showing images, but recipients can always choose to display them if they want.

Step 5️⃣: Mix It Up with Different Images! 🔄

Want a different image? No problemo! Click on the image icon again, swap out the old URL for a new one, and you're ready. Ensure your image is hosted on the web and ready to party 🎉.

Bonus Tips: 🌟

  1. Size Matters: Check the size of your image. Depending on where it's hosted and how you upload it, it might look tiny or ginormous.

  2. Hosting Rules: Google Drive links won't cut it, folks! Your image must be hosted on a website or some snazzy web hosting service.

  3. Merge Tag Creation: Wanna create that nifty merge tag for your image URL? No sweat! Head over to your email settings, find "Prospect Fields," and create a custom field with a name you won't forget. Use that in your merge tag magic! We have used the URL.

There you have it, champs! 🏆 You're officially the Picasso of personalized emails! 🎨
