How to use dynamic image feature in your campaign?

The dynamic image URL feature allows the same content block to display different images to different users.

All you need is a column as a property under which different image URLs would be stored for each of your contacts. You just need to add a personalisation parameter and map it to a user property. This would enable you to show personalised images in the same block to respective contacts.
