Inserting images in Formstack Documents via Make
To create merged documents with images (e.g. signatures) via Make, you need to know the URL to the image or the base64 representation of the image (i.e. data:image/png;base64,<BASE 64 HERE>) so that Make can pass this information to WebMerge and the image can be embedded. Detailed information on how to build documents and embed images in WebMerge can be found under the following links:
