  1. Hi, thank you for this explanation.
    It works with regular e-mail templates, but doesn’t work with “builder”, do you have a solution for that ?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Anna, how are you specifying the image in builder? Are you using the image component? Can you try using HTML component and specify the “img” html tag as shown in this blog post?

    hi .thanks for the detailed document ..is it possible to create multiple addresses for single user to use in different situations please reply ASAP

    1. Hi Kethireddy, I tested it again and it is working for me. Please ensure that you are using the image URL that you get when you right click on the image in the preview tab and click “Copy Image Address”. Don’t use the URL that you get from Salesforce when you click “Copy Link”
