Sending important documents by email can be streamlined with the right approach. Instead of simply including a hyperlinked text, you can add a button that makes it easier for your recipients to access the document. Below are detailed steps to help you do this.
1. Creating and Sharing a Public Link
Before inserting a button in your email, you first need to ensure your document is accessible to anyone who receives the link.
Step 1.1: Upload Your Document
Choose a Cloud Service: Upload your PDF, brochure, or infographic to a trusted cloud storage service (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive).
Set Sharing Permissions: Make sure that your document is set to “Public” or “Anyone with the link can view.” This ensures that recipients won’t encounter access issues when they click the button.
Step 1.2: Copy the Document Link
Once your document is uploaded and properly shared, copy the URL provided by the cloud service.
2. Adding a Button in Your Email
Using a button makes your email more visually appealing and easier to navigate. Here’s how to add a button that links directly to your document:
Step 2.1: Compose Your Email
Write your email and decide where you want the button to appear. Instead of linking text, you'll create a dedicated button.
Step 2.2: Insert the Button
Close the text box to see the "Button" option in your email editor.
Next, drag the "Button" to where you want it to appear within your email layout.
Adjust its design (e.g., make it bigger or bolder) to ensure it stands out.
Set the button’s text to something like "Open Brochure".
Paste the URL you copied earlier into the button’s link field.
Confirm the settings and preview the email to ensure the button displays correctly.
3. Verifying Button Link Accessibility
After adding the button, it's important to ensure it works as intended:
Test the Button: Click the button in a draft of your email to ensure it opens your document without any issues.
Check Permissions: If the document does not open or requests sign-in, revisit your cloud service settings to confirm that the sharing permissions are set to public.
Final Tips:
Always Test: Ensure the button functions correctly before sending out your email.
Keep It Simple: Clear instructions and organized content help your recipients easily access the document.
By following these steps, you can streamline your document sharing process with a button that directly links to your public document, making it effortless for your clients to view your content.
