How to Create Chat Template with Image
In some cases, while using Omnichannel to communicate with clients, sometimes it is often necessary to send the same image with multiple frequencies. For example, in the case of sending product images or image templates to guide customers. Therefore, the use of chat templates in sending the image is considered to be sufficient to help solve this problem.
In this article, we will guide you on how you will be able to create a chat template with an image.
What Will You Need
Server to upload the required image, it is recommended to upload it on the Omnichannel dashboard. You may use fake accounts (Line/WhatsApp/other channels) in your Omnichannel application. Or you can use another publicly accessible server.

3. Once the image uploaded, click right on the image and then choose "copy image address".

4. Copy and save your URL for use later.
Note:
- You must get the image direct URL in order to use them. (example: https://d1edrlpyc25xu0.cloudfront.net/rir-i1gavwtrrzsh7vk6h/image/upload/ELLurDvx9s/qiscus_badge.png)
