Associating Documents with an Email

You can associate literature items, such as white papers, presentations, brochures, advertising material, and product specifications with your email campaign. Using the Email Marketing On Demand document library, you can include a link within your email message that allows the recipient to download the document directly from the library.

This decreases the chance that the delivery of your message will be blocked, and provides the added benefit that you can track who has downloaded the document based on click-thrus for the associated link.

To associate a document with an email

  1. Display the email in the HTML editor, as described in Designing the Email Message Body.
  2. Place the cursor in the location where you want the document link to appear, then click the Link to Document button.
  3. For a list of buttons, see Table 5.

    The Select Document window for the Email Marketing Library appears.

  4. To associate a document from the library:
    • Navigate to, or search for, the file you want to associate, and click on the file name to select it.
    • A link to the document appears in the body of the email.

  5. To associate a document from an external folder:
    1. Click the New button in the document library.
    2. Click Browse, navigate to the document you want to associate, and select it.
    3. Type in a display name for the document, then click Save.
    4. A link to the document appears in the body of the email.

You may associate as many documents as necessary by repeating Step 2 and Step 3 for each document from the library, or Step 2 and Step 4 for each document from an external folder.

NOTE:  The link text will default to the file name saved in the email marketing library. You can modify the display name that appears in your email content by right clicking on the link and selecting the Hyperlink... option from the menu that appears. Change the information in the Text field and click OK when finished.
