Sharing flipbooks via email explained

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

1. Send via Flipsnack

Go to Details → 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:

Visibility Option	Login Required?	Available On Plan
Public	No	All plans
Unlisted	No	Starter+
Password Locked	No (needs password)	Professional+
Private (email-based)	Yes – Flipsnack account required	Business, Enterprise

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 Locked (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 Locked – 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.
