Where do avatars come from? How can I change them?
Spark pulls avatars from multiple sources, and at the moment there’s no option to change avatars right in the app.
1. Teams
Since you are a team member, it is possible to set your own avatar no matter what role you have. All your team members with avatars enabled will see your photo both in the team and personal conversations.
2. System address book (macOS only)
Enter a person’s email while adding a new contact to your address book. If they are not your team member already, their avatar will be transferred to Spark automatically.
3. Gravatar
Spark can also pull avatars from your Gravatar profile. If you are not a team member nor a contact in someone’s address book, Spark will search for your avatar on Gravatar.
4. Clearbit
Clearbit is used by Spark to pull avatars of different services such as Trello, Jira, Google etc.
