Step 1๏ธโƒฃ: Choose Picture Placement

Step 3๏ธโƒฃ: Add the Image Source๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Now, here's where the real magic happens! To add an image, you have to give it a source.๐ŸŽฉโœจ We're talking about the URL of your image, folks! Wrap it with double curly brackets like this: {{URL}} ๐Ÿ“ฆ. We have used the custom merge tag scroll below to learn about custom merge tags.

It's as easy as making a sandwich! ๐Ÿฅช Once you've got that URL snug and sound, hit "Save." ๐Ÿ“ฅ

๐ŸšจImportant :

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 4๏ธโƒฃ: Test Drive Your Email ๐Ÿš—

You know the drill - send a test email to yourself or your trusty sidekick to make sure everything's looking ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

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

Step 5๏ธโƒฃ: Mix It Up with Different Images! ๐Ÿ”„

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 ๐ŸŽ‰.

  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.
