Link sharing to the rescue!

Updated over 6 months ago

Want to share documents with your entrants or club members through PerfDog's Send Email feature? While attachments aren't currently supported, there's a handy workaround using Google Docs (or similar services)!

Here's how to share documents in bulk emails:

  1. Create Your Document:

    • Use a platform like Google Docs, Dropbox Paper, or Microsoft Word Online to create your document.

    • Include all the information you want to share with your recipients.

  2. Share the Document Link:

    • Once your document is ready, set the sharing permissions to allow access for the intended audience. This typically involves clicking a "Share" button and choosing the appropriate settings.

    • Copy the document's sharing link. This link will allow anyone with access to view the document.

  3. Compose Your Bulk Email:

    • In PerfDog create your email in "Send Email"

    • Paste the document's sharing link into the email body. You can add a brief message explaining what the document contains.

Benefits of Using a Shared Link:

  • Accessibility: Recipients can access the document from any device with an internet connection, eliminating the need for large file downloads.

  • Updates & Collaboration: You can easily update the original document, and the changes will be reflected for everyone with access to the link. This is especially useful for sharing dynamic information.

  • Reduced File Size: By using a link, you avoid sending large attachments that may clog inboxes or exceed email size limits.

Additional Tips:

  • Descriptive Document Title: Choose a clear and informative title for your document, making it easy for recipients to understand its contents.

  • Brief Email Message: Keep your email message concise, highlighting the purpose of the document and the link for easy access.

  • Consider Permissions: For sensitive documents, adjust the sharing settings on the document itself to ensure only authorized users can view it.

By adopting this link-sharing approach, you can efficiently distribute documents to a large group of recipients through PerfDog's "Send email" feature.
