The email template builder lets you embed images into your template. To do this, you need to have the image saved somewhere publicly, so you can link back to it.
- Copy the link to where your image is stored - if you don't have anywhere to store your images, you can use Rex to store them. For more info on how to do this, see: Merge: Storing Images in Rex for use in Templates and Signatures
- Create a new Email template or open the existing one you're working on. For info on adding a template, see: Merge: Creating Merge Templates
- Click the 'Image' button (it's located just below the Bold and Italic buttons)
- In the URL field, paste the link to your image
- Add any additional info:
- Alternative Text - use this field to enter a description for the image. This is optional and is used when your image can't be displayed and/or for screen readers used by visually impaired computer users.
- Height & Width (measured in pixels) - while you have the option to enter this info, some versions of Outlook will not read any info you enter here, so this is why we recommend resizing your images before uploading to the actual size you want them to appear.
- Border (measured in pixels) - this will add a black border around your image.
- Hspace & Vspace (measured in pixels) - these values add Horizontal and Vertical spacing around your image
- Alignment - use this drop-down to choose how you would like the image to appear on the page: To the left or right.
- Add a link to a webpage (optional) - if you want the image to be a link, say the Contact clicks on the image and is taken to your website, you'll need to:
- Click the 'Link' tab
- Paste in the link to the page you want the Contact to be redirected to
- Once you've finished click 'OK'
