Can I customize my stickers on PamPam?

With PamPams map maker, you can customize your spots by choosing the emoji, or image to use as your sticker. And, choosing the display type of your spot.

How can I change all my spot display types at once or set a default?

To set the default display type, or change all your spot display types at once - let's say from "standard" to "event". Go to the toolbar and click on the black pouch, then select your display type there. If you already have spots on your map, click "Apply all" to set it.

What are the PamPam display types?

PamPam display types are how you can customize your map sticker and panel. The image and panel are tied to the same display type.

How do I set the display type with an import?

You can define display type of a spot when you're importing a CSV, spreadsheet, Google Sheet or Airtable. To do that, add a column called Display, and then add the name of the Display type in each row.

Or, you can set the default display type of your map first, and then import the spots.

How do I set the sticker or image with an import?

You can define the spot image in different ways:

  • Sticker - Paste in an emoji to choose the emoji for the "standard" or "event" display type.

    • If you leave this blank, PamPam will pick an emoji for you.

    • If you want to set the image as the sticker, then you can write the word "image" instead of an emoji. This is helpful if you want to use an event type with an image. Otherwise you should be using the "photo" display type.

  • Image - Add a link to a public image URL, we recommend Dropbox, to use with "photo" display type.

  • Links - Add a link that has an image associated with it, and PamPam will use it as an image that you can use for "profile" and "photo".
