This is a tenant-specific feature enabled for specific clients on request.

To insert an image from a DAM system, follow these steps:

1. In your email template, drag-drop a Flexi structure and then drag-drop an image block.
2. Select the image block and from the right panel click Select image from DAM. A popup screen will display the digital assets (images) from your organization’s Liferay DAM system.

3. Select an image. A small popup will be displayed to select the device in which the image will be inserted. You can select both Desktop and Mobile.
4. Click Select to close the popup and insert the image.

Usage notes:

1. In the current implementation, all the asset types to be selected will be of ‘Image’ type and the formats supported for the image will be .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp & .svg.

2. On the left panel, you will see the folder structure and will be able to expand/collapse specific folders. Canto folders and albums can be distinguished by their different icons on the left panel.
