Overview
Include downloadable files in your Email Broadcasts and Email Sequences to share resources, flyers, and additional information with your recipients.
Note: The maximum file size for any downloadable attachment in an Email Campaign is 1GB. Each file upload in Kajabi generates a new, unique download link. Duplicating and resending an email will therefore produce a different link than the original — there is currently no way to replace the file behind an existing URL.
Email Broadcast
Include a downloadable file in your Email Broadcast with both the Classic Email Editor and Email Visual Editor.
Classic Editor

In the Insert Button prompt, customize the Text to Display, the Title, and the Button Color.
Workarounds for keeping a consistent download link
If you need recipients to always access the latest version of a file at the same URL, consider one of these approaches before your next broadcast:
Link to a landing page or funnel page with a Download button, rather than directly to the file. You can swap the file behind the button at any time without changing the page URL. You can also unpublish the page immediately to cut off access.
Use a Download product delivered through a Kajabi Offer. This gives you full control over the file and a record of who has accessed it.
Host the file on Dropbox or Google Drive and link from there. Both platforms support file versioning and link revocation, so you can update or remove the file without changing the shared URL.
