Fields are broken into three parts: directory fields, formula fields and image fields. The directory fields are using your directory fields found in your directory.
Formula fields allow you to extend the simple AD lookup functions by using a C# script to manipulate the data and returning a string.
Image fields allow you to insert custom images such as your company logo, ad banners, social media icons etc. directly into the body of email.
