Use cases

Five ways teams deliver client work on a link they own.

Every one of these started as a file someone emailed. Here is what changes when it becomes a branded, protected, tracked address instead.

01

Marketing, SEO and data agencies

The client report you send every single week

Every Monday the same client gets the same report with a new number at the end of the filename. Nobody knows which version is open on their side, and half the questions you answer are questions about which file they are looking at.

  • One address, forever. Publish a new version and the link does not change. Your client keeps the bookmark they already have, and always lands on the current numbers.
  • Your name in the URL. livesend.io/youragency/q3-performance instead of a random string or a Drive link that looks like it came from nowhere.
  • You see it get read. Opens, unique readers and time spent, per version. You find out the report went unread before the QBR, not during it.
Branded linkVersionsRead analytics

Client cockpits are the most frequently republished documents on LiveSend, and the link almost never changes.

B2B sales and founders

The proposal you send, then hear nothing about

You send the quote as a PDF and the line goes quiet. You do not know if it was opened, forwarded to a decision maker, or lost in a thread. So you follow up blind, and too early or too late.

  • A read receipt that means something. An email the moment it is first opened, with how long they stayed. Follow up on the day it was actually read.
  • Locked to the right reader. Password-protect the quote so pricing does not travel further than you intended.
  • Fix a number without resending. Edit in place and the link they already have shows the correction. No v2_FINAL, no awkward second email.

Proposals are where branded URLs and expiration are turned on together most often.

You knew before your follow-up call. They did not have to tell you.

Sales teams running named accounts

The same deck, tailored for each account

You keep one master deck and cut a version per prospect. They all end up as attachments with near-identical names, and none of them tells you which account is actually engaging.

  • One link per account. Each version gets its own address and its own analytics, so engagement is per account instead of per file.
  • Built without a developer. The page is generated by your AI tool and published as is. No deploy, no repo, no ticket to anyone.
  • Silence becomes a signal. The account that never opened is visible next to the ones that did. That is a prioritised call list.
Per-document analyticsBranded linksInstant publish

Account-specific pages tend to be revised far more than any other kind of document.

The one that never opened is the one worth a call.

Founders raising, consultants pitching

The deck you would rather not email around

A deck as an attachment is a file you have permanently lost control of. It gets forwarded, it sits in an inbox for a year, and the version circulating is never the one you would send today.

  • A gate, not a warning. Set a password on the document itself. Not a banner asking people to be careful, and not a script inside the page that anyone can read around.
  • Who read it, and how long. Unique readers and median read time, so you know which conversation is real and which one is polite.
  • It expires when you decide. Give the link an end date. Access stops without you having to remember to close anything.

Decks are the documents where seeing who read them, and for how long, changes the next conversation.

Ops, procurement and internal tooling

The internal dashboard nobody wants to deploy

Someone builds a genuinely useful dashboard in an afternoon. Shipping it to the team means a repo, a deploy target, an access list and a person who owns it. So it stays a file on one laptop.

  • A shared org namespace. Everything the team publishes lives under livesend.io/yourcompany/, readable by every member and by nobody else.
  • A password rule the org sets. Require a password on every document the team publishes, with a minimum length your side defines. Enforced on upload, not suggested.
  • No infrastructure to own. No repo, no build, no hosting bill, and no one on call for an internal page.

Internal dashboards are among the most frequently updated documents on the platform.

Everyone on the team reads them. Nobody outside it can.

Your readers never pay, and never sign up.

You pay for the people who publish. Clients just open a link. Start free with three documents, no card, and upgrade when you want your own branded URL and to see who is reading.
