Image Sources

Important: URL links need to be HTTPS, not HTTP.

There are two kinds of images you may set in Events (Salesforce).

  • Images in string fields
  • Images in rich text fields

Image Sources

Public images

You can always use a public image from third parties if they allow you to use the images out of their platform, such as Imgur.

Classic UI:

  1. Paste the public image URL into a string field directly.
  2. Use the public image URL in a rich text field, like this:

Lightning UI
