Add a Dropbox file to your campaign

Dropbox is a cloud platform used for secure file sharing and document storage. With this integration, you can send important files to your contacts using campaigns and automation emails.

This is a great alternative to attaching files as it will help you avoid spam filters, prevent slow deliverability times, and will allow you to track which contacts clicked the download link to your file.

This integration is easy to set up and all you need is a Dropbox account. If you don’t already have one, you can create one here.
