How email attachments work in Peptalkr
Attachments can be added to Peptalkr email as Links. You can either hyperlink some text, or add a Button to your email template and set the destination of the button as your PDF/resource.
Why they must be added as links
We require you to insert the file as a link, and not as a traditional' attachment' for several reasons relating to security:
Email attachments are often used as a way to hide viruses and malware. Because of this, emails with attachments are more likely to get caught in spam filters, which can affect your deliverability.
Large file sizes can result in bounces from email servers with low inbox or low message size limits.
Attachments can slow down your email from sending as the time required to send each email is significantly greater.
How do I put the PDF/file in a link?
It's easy! Here's the steps:
Step One: Upload your PDF/file to either:
1 - Your Google Drive/Dropbox/other cloud storage
Make sure the file is accessible - Ensure you set the file to be publicly visible via link. For example, in Google Drive - click share and set General Access to 'Anyone with the link'
2 - Your website's media library
If you're not sure how to do this, click one of the links below:
Step Two: Copy the URL to your file
Now that you've uploaded it, grab the URL and copy it.
Step Three: Paste the URL into a button or hyperlink in your email
Now add a button or text to your email that want to link to the PDF/file.
Don't forget to send yourself a test of the email and test clicking the button/link to make sure it opens correctly 😊
Calendar attachments in Transactional Emails (.ics files)
We allow you to attach .ics files to Transactional emails using the 'After an appointment is created' trigger type. These files should not impede on the email's deliverability, as we have ensured the .ics file is correctly created. You have no control over the contents of the .ics file as it is automatically generated based on an algorithm we have written.
