Sending a PDF File to Your Email Recipients
There is no attachment feature in the Email app. Since we are unable to attach a PDF to an email sent from the platform, we'll need to get a little creative! Instead, we'll send your email recipients to a page or hosted file on your site containing the PDF.
Host the PDF file on your site
On Websites 360
- Create a page where people can download your PDF.
- Add the PDF to the page:
PDF Option 1: Button (see steps below) or PDF Option 2: Add a PDF to Your Page
1) Add the PDF to Your Resource Collection
2.) Copy the PDF link
3.) Add a Button on Your Website - Copy the page URL, you'll need this later
On other site builders, including Woo360
- Upload the PDF to your media library
- Copy the file URL, you'll need this later
You could also build a new page to download the file if you'd prefer and copy the page URL.

Be sure to include a button and/or linked text that goes to the URL copied from the Host the PDF file on your site step above.
