To embed an image in an individual email, an email template, or your email signature within your account, first you'll need to host your image on a website (ex. Post Images or your BoomTown site in your WordPress account under Media-- if you have permission to do so on your account).

Next, copy the URL for your image (if using Post Images, first click to Choose Images, and select the Direct Link option from those provided after the file is uploaded).
​
Paste the image URL in the below HTML code.
​

<img src="URL">
​
Once you have the HTML code created, it should look something like this (depending upon the source utilized):
​
<img src="https://s18.postimg.org/7xgt7m9q1/Email_Icon.png">;
​
Be sure to copy all the code, so you can paste it within an email or an email template as below.
​

Navigate to the lead profile for the lead you'd like to email.
​
Select the mail icon toward the top of the lead's profile, and the email composition window will display.
​

Choose the HTML button within the email window, and this will display a second pop-up window for the HTML Editor.

Paste the completed HTML code (with your image URL inserted) into the box where you'd like it positioned, and finish with the Update button, and the image should display in the body of your email to send!
​

If you'd like to add an image to an email template for future use, navigate to the Marketing area of your left-hand menu bar, and select the Email Templates choice in the drop-down.

Once on the page with your email templates, select an existing template you'd like to edit, or the option to create a new one.
​
On the next page, in the email body area, select the HTML option.
​

This will open up another window, where you can paste in the completed HTML code (with your image URL inserted) where you prefer within the body of the email.
​

Once the code is pasted where you'd like, select Update and the image should then display within the email body of the template.
​

Just be sure to save the template changes using the Save Email Template button!

Navigate to your profile within your BoomTown account by clicking on your name located in the top right corner of the page and selecting My Profile from the drop-down.
​

Scroll down to the Email Signature box and select the HTML option.
​

This will open up another window, where you can paste in the completed HTML code (with your image URL inserted) where you prefer within the email signature.
​

Once the code is pasted where you'd like, select Update and the image should then display within the email signature.
​

To save this change in your account, be sure to click on the Update Info button located below the email signature box.
​

To embed a YouTube video in an individual email, or an email template within your account, the best way to do this is to include a screenshot or still image of the video, and then link out to it from the email or email template. This is recommended because videos in emails tend to get flagged as spam at a very high rate, and this workaround should help prevent that!
​

In order to get started, you'll first need to take a screenshot of your video.
​

To do this, open your video in YouTube (or other video hosting site) and use a snipping tool to capture a screenshot of your video.
​
​Your computer may come with a snipping tool, or you can download Jing for easy screen capturing!
​

Once you have the screenshot at the point in the video that you'd like to use, you'll need to host your screenshot image on a website (ex. Post Images or your BoomTown site in your WordPress account under Media-- if you have permission to do so on your account).

Next, copy the URL for your image (if using Post Images, first click to Choose Images, and select the Direct Link option from those provided after the file is uploaded).
​
Paste the image URL in the Image URL area in the below HTML code.
​

<a href="DESTINATION PAGE URL"><img src="IMAGE URL"></a>
​
Go back to the YouTube video, and copy the URL for the video, to paste in the Destination Page URL field in the same code.
​
<a href="DESTINATION PAGE URL"><img src="IMAGE URL"></a>
​
Once you have the HTML code created, it should look something like this (depending upon the source utilized):
​
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNf483sfBK4"><img src="https://www.cobblestonegroup.com/files/2018/07/Capture-2.jpg"></a>;
​
Be sure to copy all the code, so you can paste it within an email or an email template as below.

Navigate to the lead profile for the lead you'd like to email.
​
Select the envelope icon toward the top of the lead's profile, and the email composition window will display.
​

​

Paste the completed HTML code (with your Destination Page URL & Image URL inserted) into the box where you'd like it positioned, and finish with the Update button -- then the image should display in the body of your email to send!
​

You can test to ensure that the link to the full video from the image works, by right-clicking the image and selecting the option to open the link in a new tab.
​

​

If you'd like to add an image to an email template for future use, navigate to the Marketing area of your left-hand menu bar, and select the Email Templates choice in the drop-down.

If you'd like to add a link to an image included in your email, first you'll want to ensure that the image is added to the email through the process above.
​
Once you have successfully embedded a photo into your email, it's easy to use that image as a link to an outside site or video.

Within the email you're working on, start by highlighting the image and clicking the chain link button above the email composition window.
​

In the pop-up window that displays, enter the URL in the Link URL field for the website you'd like to direct the client to from the image.

Other optional settings that you can adjust from this screen are the Target and Title for the URL.

Once you've selected your preferences, choose the Insert button, and you have successfully linked your image to an outside site or video!
