Generate personalised images using a .csv file

We are still building direct integrations with many of the mail email providers that you might use. If you use Klaviyo or Mailchimp, these are the user-guides. If you don't, then you can still use imagefactory.io by using a .csv file of your contact database. This can be downloaded from your email provider, processed through imagefactory.io and then re-uploaded back to your email provider. Each contact in your database will have a unique personalized .jpeg stored in a new column within your .csv file. Finally, using the appropriate code snippets, these images can be merged into your next email campaign.
