How To Create A Dynamic Image Template

You must specify a name before you can save your template.

Now, select a layout. The content of the layout (text, and images) are all dynamic or 'variable.' They can change automatically based on each recipient, but how they are arranged on the card is dictated by the chosen layout.

The primary differences account for different styles or colors of logos and other content. Some cards have better layouts for fewer words, some have better layouts for more words.

Choose the layout you think you like the best (it's easy to change.)

In each layout sample, you'll see the 'background image' is a Google maps image that sits underneath the design (overlay) of the card.

The background image can be one of three things:

1. A URL you specify, to a jpg or png image.

   • Taggable: Means you can use data tags in your URL for the purposes of auto-generating recipient-specific images. In layman's terms, it's possible to use info from your CRM or even your digital advertisements to customize the background image for each recipient.

2. You may upload your own image to use on every card, from your device by clicking on the upload image button to the right.

3. Finally, you may use a Google Street View or Map View data tag as the background image. The google image of the recipient's address is what will be printed on their card. To use either function simply click on the blue link to enter the ~STREET_VIEW~ OR ~MAP_VIEW~ variable.

   • You can have the google street or map view differ from the recipients address with custom variables. Set the word absentee as the recipient's Custom1 field, and enter the address you would like the google image to represent in the recipient's Custom2 field.

The Header field contains the large text that will be printed onto the card design.

The subheader functions exactly the same as the header, just appearing as smaller text. Be sure to direct recipients to scan a QR code if you intend to provide one.

This field accepts any URL, meaning it starts with http:// or https://.

It's also typically easier to match the URL from your message template to the front, dynamic side of the card using the ~MESSAGE_QR~ data tag. If you want the QR code on the front of the card to differ from the back (address side) of the card, then use this URL field to set your 'front side' qr code manually.

If you arrange all of the graphics in our dynamic image in a stack, like a sandwich, then the 'overlay' is a graphic that sits in the middle of this stack with holes in it, like a piece of swiss cheese.

It sits below the text and QR, and above the background. You can develop your own overlays, and upload them to create your own totally custom dynamic cards.

You can use this link to insert a transparent 1875x1275 png file (just copy the URL and place it into the overlay field), to see how the overlay covers up what's underneath.

Beneath the card preview on the right, you'll see a box containing 'Dynamic Data Tags.'

These tags can be inserted into any of the fields marked 'taggable'.

Each tag is a placeholder or variable that will hold information that pertains to the recipient.

Using these tags we can personalize nearly any aspect of our dynamically generated card design.

To use a tag, first click into the text box that you want to add the tag to. Then, click on the tag button in the Dynamic Data Tags box on the right to insert the data tag.

You can directly type in tags where required.

Available Tags:

• ~FULL_NAME~ || Prints the recipient's Full Name.

• ~FIRST_NAME~ || Prints the recipient's First Name.

• ~COMPANY~ || Prints the recipient's Company Name.

• ~ADDRESS~ || Print's the recipient's Street Address.

• ~ADDRESS2~ || Prints the recipient's Address Line 2.

• ~City~, ~STATE~,~ZIP~ || Prints the recipients City, State, & Zip respectively.

• ~CUSTOM1~ || Prints the data found in 'Custom 1.' Data may come from meta tags, Zapier, CSV Upload, etc.

• ~CUSTOM2~ || Prints the data found in 'Custom 2.' Data may come from meta tags, Zapier, CSV Upload, etc.

• ~VV_TITLE~ || If Visitor View is installed, then this will print the title of the webpage it was installed on.

• ~VV_IMAGE~ || If Visitor View is installed, then this will print a screenshot of the webpage it was installed on.

• ~VV_LAST_URL~ || If the recipient was captured by Visitor View, print the URL of the last page the recipient was on before they were captured.
