Sharing flipbooks via email: all your options explained

Compare sending directly from the platform with using your own provider

There are several ways to share a flipbook via email using Flipsnack:

A flipbook can be shared by email either directly from Flipsnack, via Overview then Share then Send Email, or through your own email provider like Gmail or Mailgun. Enterprise plans can customize branding and send to up to 1,000 contacts at once, while other plans send to one address at a time, and a Private flipbook requires the recipient to log in.

1. Send via Flipsnack

Go to Overview → Click Share → Choose Send Email.

Depending on your plan:

  • Enterprise users can customize branding and send to up to 1,000 contacts.
  • Other plans allow sending to one email address at a time.

2. Send Using Your Own Email Provider

You can embed your flipbook in platforms like:

  • Mailgun
  • Amazon SES
  • Thunderbird
  • Gmail (via Chrome extensions like HTML Inserter for Gmail or GMass)
  • Do Viewers Need a Flipsnack Account? The need for account login depends on the visibility settings you choose when publishing:

Important: If your flipbook is set to Private and shared by email, the recipient must log in to a Flipsnack account (or create one) to access it. This is ideal for internal communications or high-security content.

To allow easier access without requiring sign-in, set your flipbook to:

  • Unlisted (shared via link, not searchable online)
  • Password protected (adds a layer of protection without login)

How to Choose the Right Visibility Option

When you publish a flipbook, click the Share Now button and choose from:

  • Public – visible to everyone, indexed by search engines
  • Unlisted – visible only via link, not indexed
  • Password protected – access protected by password
  • Private – restricted to specific users with Flipsnack login
  • One Time Password –OTP securely shares flipbooks externally without Flipsnack account needed

Important: OTP delivered via email upon an access request; needs access to the recipient email address; is available with the Enterprise plan

Enterprise users can even set a default visibility across the workspace and restrict other options.
