In Aivie, there are two common ways to include a document, such as a PDF, in an email. The recommended method is to send it via an asset with a download link<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended approach: Asset as a download link<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  1. Create asset<\/strong>Upload the desired document in the Assets<\/em> section (e.g., a PDF, white paper, or certificate).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Create email<\/strong>Create or edit your email as usual in the email editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Insert asset as download link<\/strong>Insert a link to the asset in the email content. Recipients can download the document directly. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    This option has several advantages:\u2013 The email remains small and loads faster.\u2013 Downloads are tracked and can be evaluated.\u2013 The data can be used for follow-up campaigns or success statistics.<\/p>\n\n

    Alternative: Asset directly as an attachment<\/h3>\n\n

    Alternatively, an asset can also be added directly as an attachment via the email’s advanced settings<\/strong>. However, this is generally not recommended because: <\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Larger emails<\/strong>Attachments significantly increase the email size, which can lead to longer loading times and poorer deliverability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. No usage tracking<\/strong>Opens or views of the attached PDF cannot be tracked. This means that important data for evaluations and automated follow-ups is missing. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Size limit for PDF attachments<\/strong>PDF attachments must be no larger than 1 MB<\/strong>. Larger files cannot be attached or will cause delivery problems. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Tip: Use personalized PDFs<\/h3>\n\n

      If content is to be individually tailored to the recipient, personalized PDFs<\/strong> are a good option. These are generated dynamically and linked as an asset. Typical use cases are certificates, personalized reports or individual lead magnets.You can find more information here: https:\/\/aivie.ch\/feature\/personalisierte-pdfs-erstellen\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n

      In short:<\/strong>For measurable, high-performance and automatable campaigns, sending via assets with a download link is always recommended instead of classic email attachments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
