How to Share Files in Emails Without Hurting Deliverability! 📂

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Hello lemlister! 👋

So, you want to enrich your email with an attachment? That’s thoughtful of you! But here’s the deal—attaching files directly to your emails isn’t just tricky; it can also hurt your deliverability rates. Let’s explore why and what you can do instead. 😊


Why Can’t You Attach Files to Emails? 😲

Attaching files directly makes your email heavier, which can:

  • Decrease your deliverability rate.

  • Trigger spam filters and keep your email from reaching the inbox.

And we all know how much we love a high deliverability rate, right? 🚀


How to Share Files Without Attaching Them 🤓

The best way to include files in your email is to:

1️⃣ Upload the File Online:

  • Host the file on your website or any online storage platform.

  • Get the file’s URL.

2️⃣ Insert the URL into Your Email:

  • Add the link in your email content, inviting recipients to click and access the file.


Use lemlist’s File Upload Feature 🥳

To make this process even easier, you can use lemlist’s built-in file upload feature:

1️⃣ Navigate to the Sequence and open your email step.

2️⃣ Click on the three dots (...) in the editor.

3️⃣ Select the Upload File option.

This feature will:

  • Automatically create a URL for your file.

  • Track who clicks on the link so you can see who opened the file.

💡 Pro Tip: Using this method keeps your email lightweight while giving you valuable insights into recipient behavior.


Ready to Enhance Your Emails Without Sacrificing Deliverability? 🤩

By following these steps, you can add value to your emails without compromising their effectiveness. Say goodbye to bulky attachments and hello to smarter email practices!

Enjoy! ❤️
