== How do I add or change my profile photo in ActiveCampaign? ==

In ActiveCampaign, the '''profile photo''' that you see on the bottom left corner of your account is sourced from a third-party service known as '''Gravatar'''. This integration allows you to maintain a consistent online presence, as the image linked to your Gravatar account is connected to your email address, which is also used to log into ActiveCampaign. 

Having a profile photo not only enhances your professional appearance within the platform but can also enhance your interactions with team members and clients. This article provides comprehensive instructions on how to add or change your profile photo in ActiveCampaign using Gravatar.

== How to access the feature ==
To modify your profile photo in ActiveCampaign, it is essential to access your Gravatar account since that is where your photo is stored. Users must navigate through the settings within their ActiveCampaign account to initiate changes.

== Step-by-step instructions ==

=== Create a New Profile Photo Using Gravatar ===
If you do not currently have a profile photo associated with your account, you will need to create one via Gravatar. Follow the steps below:

# Visit the [[https://en.gravatar.com/]] website and click on '''Create Your Own Gravatar'''.
