Embed images and files

For embedding videos, see Embed videos.

Embed an image

Images can be displayed directly to users in the assistant.

From a file

The maximum uploadable file size is 500 MB.

You can drag-and-drop images directly onto node descriptions.

1. Click the node to open its edit panel.
2. Drag your image file onto the description section.
3. Markdown is automatically added to the node description to embed the image.

Alternately, you can upload a file from anywhere in your filesystem.

1. Click the node to open its edit panel.
2. In the description section, click the paperclip button in the toolbar.

3. Either drag an image onto the dialog or click the "Upload file" link to navigate your file system and select the image.

4. Zoom and crop the image as desired.

5. Click the "Upload" button.
6. Markdown is automatically added to the node description to embed the image.

Once uploaded using one of these methods, you can preview the node to confirm how the image will look to users.

From a URL

When embedding an image via URL, the image is not uploaded to Mavenoid's servers. If the image is changed or removed, this change will immediately apply to your flow as well. We recommend only embedding images that you control.

1. Click the node to open its edit panel.
2. In the description section, add markdown to reference the image. Image markdown looks like this:

![alt-text](image-url)

The URL of the image should go in the parentheses, while any desired alt text for the image should go in the square brackets.

3. You can preview the node to confirm how the image will look to users.

Link to a file

Other files can not be displayed directly in the assistant, but can be linked to.

When linking to an external resource, the file is not uploaded to Mavenoid's servers. We recommend only linking to resources that you control.

1. Click the node to open its edit panel.
2. In the description section, add markdown to link to the desired resource. Link markdown looks like this:

[Link name](url-to-link)

The URL to which you are linking should go in the parentheses, while the text you wish to display to users should go in the square brackets.

3. You can preview the node to confirm how the link will look to users.
