1. **Log in to HubSpot** – Go to [hubspot.com](https://www.hubspot.com/) and sign in to your HubSpot account.
2. **Navigate to Marketing > Email** – From the top menu, click **“Marketing”**, then select **“Email”**.
3. **Create or Open an Email Draft** – Click **“Create email”** or open an existing email draft where you want to add the attachment.
4. **Choose “Regular” Email Type** – For most cases, select **“Regular”** (non-automated) email to send to a list or individual.
5. **Attach File via Link or CTA (HubSpot Limit)** – HubSpot doesn’t allow traditional attachments like Gmail. Instead, **upload your file to HubSpot’s File Manager**.
6. **Go to File Manager** – In the email editor, click the **insert link or button**, then click **“File”** to upload a PDF, DOCX, etc.
7. **Select or Upload Your File** – Choose an existing file or **click “Upload files”** to add a new one. Once uploaded, select the file to generate a link.
8. **Insert File Link into Email** – Add the file link into your email text or button (e.g., “Download Brochure”), so recipients can click to access it.
