1 What is an image block?
An image block allows you to place an image on your template, such as a company logo under an e-mail template or a picture of a product in a campaign template.
In Tribe, we know different types of image blocks. We make the following distinction:
Logo block: This block allows you to add your own organisation's logo to your templates, e.g. for a signature. This logo can be found and modified in the top left of your own organisation's relation card.

Image block: This block allows you to upload an external image and use it in your template. Think, for example, of the layout of your header or footer.
Image from field block: This block allows you to use an image already present in Tribe CRM. Think, for example, of an employee's photo.
2 How do I add an image block?
Adding an image block
Add a column block by clicking + in the template layout and choosing Logo, Image or Image from field in the Common Blocks section.

Adding image from field
In Tribe CRM, there are file type fields where a picture or logo can be uploaded, such as a picture of a salesperson. The advantage of an image from field is that the field is dynamic. Which picture is displayed depends on the sender. With image from field, you can optimally set up the templates and therefore send e-mails and documents faster, without adjustments.
After adding the block image from field, it is important to select the file field that contains the photo. To do so, click on the image:

You can now select a field from Tribe. In our example, we will take the image of the employee:

This way, you can set up your template the way you want. In the example below, we used a sub template with a column block and used both an image and an image from field with different settings.

3 Settings of the image block
The settings of the image block are shown on the right-hand side of the screen after it is added or when you click on the block.

The following can be set for all image blocks:
Dimensions
Width: by moving the dot to the right, you can adjust the width. You can also enter the pixels or percentage yourself.
Height: you can adjust the width by moving the dot to the right. You can also enter your own pixels or percentage.
Block
Fill: Dragging the dot to the right makes the fill smaller relative to the block.
Margin: You can make the margins around the block larger if you move the dot to the right.
Border width: By default, there is no border around the block. As soon as you move the dot to the right, the border appears. The further to the right, the wider the border.
Edge rounding: The rounding of the corners can be set by moving the dot to the right.
Colours
Under Colours you can set a colour for the background, border and letters. Click Clear if you want to return to the original settings.
Align: You can align the image left, right or centre. To do so, click the block and click the centre button in the top left corner:
