How Sharing Works in Showell

By now, you know that Showell makes it easy to find and present your content. But what about sharing those materials with prospects and customers, without the usual hassle?

We’ve all been there: forgetting to attach a file, hitting email size limits, losing track of what was sent, or wondering if the recipient even looked at it. With Showell, those worries are a thing of the past.

What Happens When You Share?

When you create a Share in Showell, you're actually generating a unique web link that opens a Digital Sales Room. This is basically a personalized, mini-website for your recipient. Every Share is its own space, so different prospects see only the content meant for them.

Additionally, the Digital Sales Room provides insights by tracking the engagement of your buyers, prospects, and customers. With this data and the tailored recommendations from Showell for each Share, you can take informed action.

How to Share in Two Simple Steps:

 

  1. Select the content you want to share: Whether it’s company materials or your own files from My Files
  2. Share it instantly via email or copy the Share Link to send through any communication channel. Want to tailor the experience? Customize the Share with additional settings before (or after!) sending

Keep Your Share Up to Date:

Once your Share is live, you’re not just sending files - you’re creating an interactive experience

  • Track engagement with analytics: see who viewed your content, what they focused on, and how long they spent on each file
  • Communicate with your recipient(s) directly within the Digital Sales Room, keeping everything in one place
  • Make updates anytime: adjust settings, refine content, or add new materials based on analytics and customer interactions. The Share Link stays the same, ensuring easy, uninterrupted access

 



All Options and Features

🔔 Troubleshooting

 

Why am I unable to share folders?

By default you are able to share files, but not folders. Learn more on: how to manage files and folder sharing permissions.

Why am I unable to share content?

There may be multiple reasons why. Go through our check-list to rule out any barriers!

  • Share Permissions: Your Showell workspace administrator can set file restrictions and therefore make certain content unable to share. Please contact your Workspace administrator if you have questions regarding this.
  • Outdated Showell App: Make sure your app is always up to date, every update comes with new features and fixes
  • No default email app: If you are unable to share via email, make sure you have configured an email application on your device. Showell will use the default email application of your device to send out the share.
  • No internet connection: If you share without an internet connection, Showell will save the Share as a draft. Once an internet connection is established, you can send the Share from your 'Shares' menu.
