Output: text



Add this formula

IF(NOT(ISBLANK(plaunch__avatar_url__c)), IMAGE(plaunch__avatar_url__c, 'Avatar'), NULL)

if you want to specify the image size (may distort the image if the aspect ratio isn't square) use the formula below:

IF(NOT(ISBLANK(plaunch__avatar_url__c)), IMAGE(plaunch__avatar_url__c, 'Avatar', 150, 150), NULL)

Edit the Page Layout:

Save and Activate:
Save your changes to the page layout.

Test the Formula Field:
Open a contact or account record to verify that the profile picture or company logo is displayed based on the formula field.
