How to Add Attachments and Flyers to Your HootBoard

HootBoard makes it easy to share files, flyers, and other attachments with your audience. You can do this in two main ways:

1. Add files as an App on your board

2. Attach files directly to a Hoot (post)

Follow the steps below to choose the option that works best for you.

 

Option 1: Add a File App to Your Board

1. From your board, go to Apps & Integrations.

2. Under Add Apps on this board, select File App.

   

3. Enter basic details such as the app name, icon, etc., then click Next.

4. On the next screen, upload your file or add a file URL.
