How do I insert files in my newsletter?
You can upload all sorts of files (Word, Excel, pdf) in Laposta, and make them accessible to your newsletter's recipients with a link.
Creating a text link to a file
To start, you have to have a text block there you want to put the link to your file. If you do not have it yet, you can add it by dragging it into your newsletter.
- Click in/or the text block, to open the field where you can enter your text (left side of the screen). Select the text you want to insert a link into and click the paperclip-symbol.
- Click on New file (left side of the screen). Using the Browse button, you can upload the preferred file, with a maximum size of 12MB. Next, click the Save button.
- Now select the file you have just uploaded. You can now see that the text you selected has become a link.
Creating a link or button to a file
To create a link or a button to a file, you must have uploaded at least one file. You can do this by uploading it to Media (on the page Campaigns > Media > Files).
- To start, there must be a block or button in your newsletter. If you do not have this yet, you can add it by dragging a Button block into your newsletter.
- Click the button you want to place a link to. You will see the Content menu on the left side of your screen. Here, you can edit the button's text or add a link. Click 'Or link to file' under the chainlink symbol.
- Select the requested file and click Save.
The button now links to your file. Your subscriber opens this file in a new window.
Adding a file link to an image
We are currently working on the ability to make a file accessible through an image, the same way you would with a button.
You can already link an image to a file with a bit of a workaround:
- Go to Media on the page Campaigns > Media > Files.
- Click 'Add a new file' and select your file through Browse. Then click Save.
- Put your cursor on the requested file in the overview of all the files you have created, and right-click. Copy the link (in Chrome with Copy link address, and in Edge with Copy link).
- Now go to the Image or Text block in the (drag & drop) editor, (and if the block was not yet in your newsletter, drag it in now).
- Click on the image, after which links are shown in the Content submenu on your screen. Paste the link you have copied from Media after the chainlink symbol.
