When creating your template, you'll come across the 'Header Type' option. You have three choices:
- Image: To add an image to your template's header.
- Video: To include a video in your template's header.
- None: If you prefer not to use a header media.

If 'Image' is selected as the header type, you'll encounter further options:
Choose between:
- Static: For a fixed image in all messages.
- Dynamic: To dynamically insert images based on certain criteria.

For static images, click 'Choose Image' to select an image from your gallery. This option uses a fixed image in all messages sent with this template.


- Choose between 'Product Image from Order' or 'Product Image from Abandoned Cart' for dynamic content.


If 'Video' is chosen as the header type, you will need to upload the video file. This adds a video directly into the template's header, making your message visually appealing.
