Merge image field into template from an existing “files” document from SF record

Use Case: I have existing images in my “Files” related list on my base object and would like to merge this image field onto my google doc template. 

Opero Documents allows you to merge any image as long as it’s a public URL so depends on how you build the process to capture and save the URL. For more information about this feature, see Template Configuration article.

Files can be shared publicly so if you can save the public URL for the file in a field, then you can use that field to merge on template. If you go to the file and click on File Sharing Settings, share with link, copy that link.  Open it. Then right click on the image displayed to get the image URL itself.

If your image URL is more than 255 characters, make sure you are using a LONG Text field so it can fit the full URL.
