FAQs

Can I attach files directly to Seguno emails?

Can I use this in automations and newsletters?

  • Yes. File links work the same way in both newsletters and automation emails.

What file types work best?

  • PDFs and images are the most reliable. Always confirm the file is supported by Shopify.

Can I replace a file without changing the link?

  • No. Uploading a new file creates a new URL. Update the link in the email if the file changes.
