Site URL: https://amybaratta.com/ I'd like to add a pop up or newsletter block on my website that entices visitors to sign up for my newsletter and they will receive a free guide in the form of a pdf (they can download once I send them a welcome to my monthly newsletter email). It would go something like this: “Sign up for my monthly newsletter and I’ll send you a free sustainable shopping guide”! It seems a bit confusing on square space, I was told the email would contain a link that the guest could follow and grab the document from my site. Wondering if a third party like Mailchimp would be better for this than the SS email campaigns? I’m not even sure if I have a choice since I already signed up for the email campaigns : ( thx

I was trying to figure this out too. I asked help desk, this is what i got: You can't send a file with our built-in tools. However, you can include a link in the email campaign that is sent to your subscriber, which clicks through to the file on your site. From there your visitors can download the file. You can learn a bit more about this in our guide here: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041087192-Email-Campaigns-subscriber-verification As a note, For Newsletter Blocks and promotional pop-ups, you must enable at least one of these options: Subscribers verify by confirmation email after subscribing on your site (this is enabled by default) Subscribers fill out a Google reCAPTCHA when they subscribe That would mean that the initial email they receive would be a verification email, (if you went with that verification method). Hope that helps. other people on forum think its easier to use outside services for this, not sure. I aleady paid for my email campaign so im kind of stuck using this.
