# Image attachments

Include a photo or screenshot in your push — camera snapshots, charts, or deploy previews.

## How it works

<ol>
  <li>You send a public HTTPS image URL in your alert.</li>
  <li>Trigv passes the URL to your phone — the image is <strong>not stored</strong> on Trigv servers.</li>
  <li>The app downloads and shows it locally.</li>
</ol>

## Example

Add `image_url` to any alert (Zapier, dashboard send test, API, etc.):

```
{
		"channel": "general",
		"title": "Motion detected",
		"description": "Front door camera",
		"image_url": "https://example.com/snapshot.jpg",
		"level": "warning"
}
```

## Good uses

- Security camera motion snapshots
- CI screenshot or chart output
- Deploy preview thumbnails

## Requirements

- HTTPS URL that your phone can reach
- URL max 2048 characters
- If the image expires later, the app shows a placeholder
