Files & Google Drive / Sites content

Attach a file

Emails sent to a list can't carry attachments. Instead, upload the file somewhere online, such as Google Drive, and link to it from your email.

Share a Google Drive file

  1. In Google Drive, right-click the file and choose Share, then Copy link.
  2. Set who can open the link. Choose Anyone with the link for an outside audience, or your organisation for internal newsletters.
  3. In Flashissue, select some text or a button and add the link.

Test the link in a private (Incognito) window to make sure people outside your account can open it.

Use Google Sites content

You can bring pages from a Google Site into your email in three ways:

  • RSS: a public Google Site's announcements page has an RSS feed. Add that feed to the content gallery on the right of the Editor.
  • Clipper: clip the page with the web clipper.
  • Paste a URL: paste the page address into the content gallery.

The site must be public for Flashissue to read it.
