Schools want to be as helpful as possible during the admissions process in order to drive leads towards enrollment – and a great way to do so is by offering prospects plenty of useful resources. In Mautic, you can upload various resources, such as brochures or course price lists, to include as email assets within your messages.

Add a New Asset

Start by navigating to the Components menu and clicking Assets.

There, you’ll be able to see all your assets, as well as upload a new one by clicking “+New.”

Then you can drag and drop your file, or upload it manually.

When you upload a file, by default, the title will automatically be the file name – but you can change that in the title section. You can also add a description to your file, determine where you want your file to be stored, and create an alias for your file.
