You can click [here](/documentation/image-sync/setup-sharinpix-image-sync.md) for more information about how to setup the SharinPix Image Sync.
2. Your Record Page has **at least one** field of type **Text Area (Rich)** to append the images to.

**Tip:**

The SharinPix package includes the Apex class **SharinPixToRichTextAutomation** consisting of an invocable method which can be used to automatically append images to a Rich Text using Process Builders and Flows. For more information on how to set up such automations, refer to the following article: [Append images to a Rich Text field using a Process Builder or Flow (Admin-Oriented)](/documentation/cookbook/append-images-to-a-rich-text-field-using-a-flow-admin-oriented.md)

## Demo
