# Configuring External Sources: Webpage Snapshot

### Using Webpage Snapshot

In your Content Hub go to Settings \> External Sources. And create a new External Source.

Select the connection type Webpage Snapshot

#### Set the URL

A good example of a Webpage Snapshot is local traffic information or a Statistics dashboard from a reporting system. Start by adding the Name of the feed and the URL, click on Validate & Preview to get an example of the webpage. Click Save

Next, set your update interval time. And if needed you can add a transformation to cut of a menubar for instance.

Now once you go to create your message you can select the image from the Asset Library. You can recognise the External Source images by the refresh icon.
