Adrian Simpkins Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hiya, Just wanted to say it is excellent to see the Image Library live in the system - thank you for taking this on board and rolling out this change. I know in the demo video it showed how we can change the image in any portal configuration with a new drop down selector where we can either carry on referencing our external image library link, or we can use the internal Image Library going forward. However, what I am unsure of is how to configure these images within an email template? I have checked the image configuration in the email template builder, and it just appears we can only insert a URL here so I can only insert the link to our external images. I wanted to check if the Library is setup so we can also use these images in the email templates please, or is the library only available for using images in the Portals? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hi @Adrian Simpkins Thanks for your post. My first thoughts on this is that emails will be sent outside of Hornbill, so in order for this to work, the recipient would need access to the images that are stored on Hornbill. I don't believe that these images would be available without secure access to Hornbill. There may be plans to change this, but I also believe that a new editor might be looked at for the email templates that would allow you to embed images directly into the templates. I'll let you know if I come across anything new that I can add to this. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ainsworth Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hi @Adrian Simpkins There is a button on each image that lets you copy the URL of the image. At the moment, I'm assuming that if the image is set to Public, you could use the URL in your email template. I'll try to test this today, or let us know if you are able to have a look at this.

James Ainsworth Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hi @Adrian Simpkins I just wanted to let you know that I have tested this and it has worked for me. I received an email on an external email account with the image included in the email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto2002 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 We're going to give the public setting a go since we need a location to host the banners for our emails, a limited number of which go to external users. @Terry Withers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
