When you get ready to swap out the photo, here is how you can do it.

First, upload the new image to the website:

  • Go to Content > Add Content > Photo
  • Give it a title
  • upload the photo
  • Set publishing setting settings to Not Published (uncheck the Published box)
  • Click save

Then when you are looking at the photo node (https://tialumni.org/happy-birthday) you can right click on the image and select Open Image in New Tab. Then copy the URL to the image file. 

Then update the HTML in the Message Template:

  • Go to CiviCRM > Mailings > Message Templates > Birthday Wishes
  • In the HTML field find the image source code: <p><img src="https://tialumni.org/sites/tialumni.org/files/www/photos/tiaa-happy-birthday.jpg"></p>
  • Replace the URL in between quotes with the new image URL:
    • <p><img src="https://tialumni.org/sites/tialumni.org/files/www/photos/tiaa-happy-birthday.jpg"></p>
  • Save the template

Send yourself a test email:

  • Go to CiviCRM and find your contact record
  • In the Actions menu, select Send an Email
  • In the Mailings page, select the Birthday Wishes template
  • Click the Send Email button
