How to Add a Download Action to Buttons and Images
What is the Download File Action?
The download file action allows you to configure buttons, images, or SVG graphics on your funnel or website to automatically deliver a file to visitors when clicked. This feature enables you to offer downloadable content such as PDF guides, image assets, or compressed files directly through your site without requiring any coding knowledge.
Benefits of Using the Download Action
Adding a download action to your elements enhances user experience and provides immediate value. Key advantages include:
- Instantly deliver lead magnets, eBooks, or resources
- Eliminate dependency on third-party download services
- Works seamlessly across multiple element types
- Simple setup process requiring no technical skills
- Customizable download filenames for branding consistency
- Direct one-click access to valuable content
How to Enable the Download File Action
Follow these steps to configure an element for file downloads:
- Open your funnel or website in the editor
- Select the button, image, or SVG element you want to modify
- In the settings panel on the right, locate and toggle the Download option to the ON position
- Click the Link File button to open the media selection dialog
- Choose an existing file from your media library or upload a new one
- Optionally, customize the filename that users will see when downloading
- Save your changes and preview the funnel to test the functionality
Supported Elements
The download action can be applied to several types of visual elements:
- Buttons: Ideal for call-to-action prompts like "Download Guide" or "Get Template"
- Images: Transform any image into a downloadable asset
- SVGs: Enable custom vector graphics to trigger file downloads
Customizing Download Filenames
When linking a file to an element, you have the option to specify a custom filename that users will see when downloading. This allows you to replace generic or technical filenames with more descriptive and branded names, such as changing "document_123.pdf" to "Company_Brand_Guidelines.pdf".
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I link multiple files to a single element?
No, each element can only be associated with one downloadable file at a time.
What file types are supported for downloading?
You can use any file type that is supported by your CRM's media library, including PDF documents, images, ZIP archives, and more.
Is there built-in tracking for file downloads?
The download action itself does not include individual download tracking. For tracking purposes, consider using form submissions or automation triggers in conjunction with the download feature.
Do files open in the browser or download directly?
Files are downloaded directly to the user's device when the element is clicked, rather than opening in a browser preview.
