Upload a file once under Audience Tools, then Handouts, and you can send it from any flow. You can also upload a new file while adding a handout step to a flow.

Steps

  1. In the app, go to Audience Tools, then Handouts.
  2. Click New handout (or Upload a handout if it's your first).
  3. Enter a Name. It's shown on the download page, such as "Conference slides".
  4. Drag and drop your file, or click browse. Wait for the upload bar to finish.
  5. Click Save handout.

Then add it to a flow with a Text a handout or Email a handout step (see send a handout).

File types

PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), Excel (XLS, XLSX), CSV, TXT, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, MP3, M4A, MP4, MOV, ZIP, and EPUB. Other types are refused with "That file type is not allowed."

Size limit

Up to 1 GB per file. For the first 7 days after an account is created, the limit is 100 MB.

Replace or rename a file

  1. Under Handouts, click Replace or rename on the handout's row.
  2. Change the Name, or click Replace file and upload the new one.
  3. Click Save changes.

The new file replaces the old one in every flow that uses it, and links already sent keep working. The Used in section lists those flows.

Check it before you send it

On the handout's page, Preview download page shows what your audience sees, and Open file opens the file itself. Neither is counted in the Downloads column.

Status

The Status column shows Ready, Uploading, No file yet, or Removed by Textiful. A handout with no file can't be sent.

Delete a handout

You can delete a handout once no flow uses it: open it and click Delete. Anyone who opens a link to it that was already sent sees that it's no longer available.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload a Keynote file?
Not directly. Keynote isn't on the list of supported types. Export it as a PDF or PowerPoint file and upload that.
If I replace the file, do links I already sent still work?
Yes. They keep working and open the new file. Every flow that uses the handout starts sending the new file too.
