Can I add images to Lucid Cards in Lucidspark?

We want to:

  1. import our data from our database
  2. convert each data into a custom shape automatically(as a group)
  3. the custom shape should have title&image

Lucid-card integration looks so fantastic. I tried to integrate our data in Lucid-Card, it works, but the shape of itself cannot be changed. I want to insert our pictures in it.

So, Is there a way I can add pictures in Lucid Card?

 

Best regards.

Hi @AdrainDD 

You can probably try these workarounds: 

  1. Image as Background:

    • Add a standard shape (rectangle, etc.) to your Lucidchart diagram.
    • Insert your desired image into this shape.
    • Position your Lucidchart Card over the shape, so the image serves as a background. Treat this combination as a single visual element.

  2. External Hyperlinks:

    • Store your images in a cloud storage service (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
    • Get a shareable link for each image.
    • Within your Lucidchart Card's text fields, embed these links as hyperlinks. Users could click the link to open the image in a new tab/window.

Hope this helps.

Thanks you for your kindly answer! However, We want to import our data automatically and transform it into a customized shape by using a  add-in plugin like Lucid Card Integration. 

 

I think there’s no way to change the shape of the card imported by Lucid Card Integration, is that right?

Or maybe there’s another way that can help me transform the json data into a Lucid group contains image?

 

Thanks, and best regards.
