What Does An Image Block Do?
An image block lets you place images within templates, campaigns, and web forms in Tribe. Images help structure content visually and make documents and emails clearer and more recognisable. Each image block type serves a specific purpose depending on where the image is stored.
What Types Of Image Blocks Are Available?
Tribe offers three image-related block types:
Logo Block: Displays your organisation’s logo. The logo is managed on your organisation’s relation card and updates automatically when changed.
Image Block: Allows you to upload and display an external image file, such as a banner or footer image.
Image From Field Block: Displays an image stored in a file-type field in Tribe, such as an employee photo. The image changes dynamically based on the selected field data.
