Add and Format Images in Your Emails

    Insert an image into any email or template, position it the way you want, and make sure it still displays when it reaches your recipient.

    Step 1: Insert the image

    1. Open a new email or template in Pipeline CRM.

    3. Drag and drop your image into the upload area, or click to select a file from your computer.

    Step 2: Adjust the image settings

    Click the inserted image to open its options menu. You can:

    • Replace the image with a different one
    • Change the alignment
    • Insert a link to make the image clickable
    • Set the display style
    • Add style options
    • Enter alternate text for accessibility
    • Adjust width and height
    • Remove the image

    Step 3: Align the image

    1. Click the image you want to adjust.
    2. Click the Align icon and choose Left, Center, or Right.
    3. Click the Display icon and choose how the image sits in your text:

    Why images from Google Drive disappear

    If you link an image from Google Drive, it will expire or fail to display for your recipients. Google discontinued public folder hosting (the old https://googledrive.com/host/... links) in 2016, so Drive can no longer serve images directly into an email.

    What to do instead:

    • Upload the image directly into your email or template using the steps above. This is the most reliable option.
    • Use an image hosting service built for direct public access, such as Imgur or Dropbox with the correct sharing settings.
    • Host it on your company website and link to that URL.
