Search Methods: How to Find Shapes

​
By Text Content

Finds shapes that contain specific visible text.
  • Use for: One-time image updates, simple replacements
  • Example: Replace a shape containing “Product Photo” with an actual product image

​
By Alt Text

Uses hidden alt text labels to identify shapes.
  • Use for: Recurring reports, reusable templates
  • Example: Label a shape “hero_image” and replace it with different hero images
What is Alt Text? A hidden label you add to shapes. Right-click on any shape → Alt text to set descriptive names like “product_image” or “chart_placeholder”.

​
Image Data Sources: Single vs Structured Data (Bulk)

​
Single Image

Add one image to one shape. Best for:
  • 1 image replacement
  • Simple updates
  • One-off presentation changes
Example: Replace a placeholder shape with your latest product photo

​
Structured Data (Bulk)

Add multiple images using data from previous workflow steps. Best for:
  • 10+ image replacements
  • Dynamic images from databases
  • Automated visual reports
Example: Replace multiple product placeholders with images from your e-commerce catalog.

​
Examples

​
Single Image Example

Scenario: Update monthly report with latest campaign creative Setup:
  • Set alt text “revenue_chart” on placeholder shape
  • Get image URL from previous workflow step
Configuration:
  • Search Method: By Alt Text
  • Text to Find: “revenue_chart”
  • Image URL: Output from Generate Image or external URL

​
Structured Data (Bulk) Example

Scenario: Product catalog presentation with multiple product images Workflow:
  1. Get product data from Shopify/database with image URLs
  2. Add Image with Structured Data (Bulk) to replace all placeholders
Your data table:
textimage_urlslide_number
product_1_image”https://example.com/product1.jpg2
product_2_imagehttps://example.com/product2.jpg3
product_3_imagehttps://example.com/product3.jpg4
hero_bannerhttps://example.com/banner.jpg1
Result: All product placeholders get replaced with actual product images automatically.

​

  • text: Text or alt text to find the shape

  • slide_number (optional): Target specific slide

  },
