Create a free-download campaign

Last reviewed: 2026-09-25

Use a lead magnet to offer a checklist, guide, or another file after someone joins your campaign. The on-page download is included on Free. Automatic email delivery requires separate email setup and plan access.

  1. Open Campaigns → + New campaign.
  2. Select Lead magnet → Free Download Lead Magnet.
  3. Describe the file, its audience, and why someone should download it. Use a clear campaign brief.
  4. Review the starting features and choose Create my draft.
  5. In the designer, review Signup and Post-signup. Replace sample copy and images, and remove form fields you do not need.

Open Settings → Page → Download after signup. Paste a hosted file URL or select Choose or upload a file. Set a meaningful Button label, such as “Open the camera checklist.” The page cannot publish with a missing download URL.

Download settings with a file URL, file picker, and button label

A generated draft does not contain your actual file. Follow Deliver a digital download after signup to check the link and decide whether to send it by email as well. A public file link can be forwarded.

Preview both signup states on desktop and mobile. Check the file button, confirmation, sharing actions, and terms. Review Emails separately: a draft message needs the actual file link and completed sender settings before it delivers your download.

Publish and test, then submit the public form with a fresh test address. Open the download and confirm the lead appears in the correct campaign. Test the email independently if you enabled it.
