Mailpro recommends a more modern, more effective approach than the traditional attachment: host the file in Mailpro and insert a download link in the newsletter.

Why not attach? Emails with heavy attachments often land in spam, get blocked by corporate firewalls and offer zero visibility on downloads.

How to do it

  1. Upload your PDF under Media
  2. Copy the URL generated by Mailpro
  3. In the editor, select your text or button
  4. Click the Link icon and paste the URL

Track downloads

The campaign report shows how many recipients clicked the link — data a regular attachment can never give you.
