Landing Pages give you an excellent tool to provide content to your subscribers (this is especially true when providing files immediately after a subscriber signs up for your mailings). By redirecting these subscribers to predefined content, you ensure that they get everything they need to remain engaged. For example, you may want to send a welcome packet as a PDF to your subscribers once they complete the form.

Let's learn how to redirect users to files via Landing Pages.

Create a Form that Redirects to a Landing Page

1. Navigate to Marketing Automation > Landing Pages.
2. Click Create.
3. Design your Desktop and Mobile Landing Pages. When ready, click Save at the top of the designer.
4. Enter the Name, Filename, Folder, and Description for your Landing Page.

5. Click Save.The Process tab becomes active upon saving. Click this tab and scroll to the Redirect the user area.
6. Select File from the menu in the Redirect the user area.
7. Drag a file into the dotted field or click inside it to add a file (if you click inside, navigate to the file location, select your desired file, and click Open).

8. Click Save.

When you activate the Landing Page, your subscribers will redirect to your uploaded file after they submit their information. However, before doing so, you should test your redirect to ensure it's working properly. See the steps below to learn how.

How to Test a Redirect

1. Navigate to the Landing Page Designer > Activate tab.
2. Click Test Landing Page to open a test version of your form.
3. Complete the test form and click Submit.

The test page will redirect to the uploaded file. Subscribers can download the file from their browser.

As necessary, repeat these steps for the Mobile Landing Page by clicking Test Mobile Landing Page.

How to Add a File to an Existing Landing Page

1. Navigate to Marketing Automation > Landing Pages.
2. Hover over the Menu icon next to your desired Landing Page and select Edit.
3. Click the Process tab and scroll to the Redirect the user area.
4. Follow the steps in the How to Create a Form that Redirects to a Landing Page area above to upload a file.
5. Click Save.
6. Click the Activate tab. Perform any tests you need.
7. When ready, click Activate Landing Page to publish your landing page for your subscribers.

NOTE: If you need to change the redirect file, click Reset in the Redirect the user area. This removes the existing file.

NOTE: You cannot put spaces in PDF file names if you want to link to them from a Landing Page. This appends the URL and breaks the link.

NOTE: Be mindful of your filenames. If your filename is particularly long, it may be truncated.
