Create per-recipient links in bulk from an email list

Create in bulk from an email list needs the Business plan or above, and makes up to 500 links at a time. Downloading the resulting link CSV is part of the same feature, so Pro can’t get a link CSV. On Pro, click Add link to open Create per-recipient links, then use Add row to enter several people at once, up to 10 per document.

With dozens or hundreds of recipients you don’t have to make links one at a time. Paste a list of emails and FeatPaper creates a separate per-recipient link for each person at once, ready to download as a CSV for whichever tool you send with.

Because the links are split per person, opens are attributed precisely, and later you can disable or reconfigure one recipient’s link without touching the rest.

Create the links

1. Open the Share links tab on the document.
2. Click Bulk create on the right of the All links label. The Create links from an email list dialog opens.
3. Paste the recipient emails. Line breaks, commas or semicolons all work as separators. You can also use Import CSV file or drop a file onto the field.
4. Name the batch. Leave it blank and it gets a default name with today’s date.
5. Your input is summarized as N recipients · N not an email · N duplicates removed. Check the numbers and create.

Malformed addresses and duplicates are filtered out for you. Entering the same address twice still creates just one link. One batch holds up to 500 links; anything past that is flagged as “Up to 500 at a time — N left out”.

This feature requires the Business plan or above. On lower plans the Bulk create button shows a lock, and clicking it opens the plan options.

Download the CSV

When it finishes you get the N links created summary with the list. Click Download CSV there to download the file.

The CSV holds two columns, email and link: the recipient and the address made for them. Sending tools read those two columns directly.

If it stops partway you still get what was created, along with the addresses it couldn’t make. Paste just those back in to finish the rest.

Manage them as a batch

Links made in bulk don’t appear in the Share links tab list. They’re grouped as batches under Bulk links you’ve made at the top of the Bulk create pop-up. Once you have at least one batch, the Bulk create button shows how many. Each batch shows its name, how many recipients it holds, and the date it was created.

1. In the Share links tab, click Bulk create, then click a batch under Bulk links you’ve made to open its recipient list.
2. Use Search by email to find an address, and click the email header to sort alphabetically. While searching it also tells you how many of the total are shown.
3. Use Expand to enlarge the dialog and see more rows at once.
4. From each row you can copy that link or open the reading data for that one recipient.

Clicking Settings on a batch under Bulk links you’ve made applies the same settings to every recipient in that batch at once — downloads, expiry, access restrictions and so on.

See who opened what

• Visitors tab > Dedicated link visitors — visits, time spent and last visit, per recipient address.
• Insights tab — the batch folds into a single filter chip, so you can look at that batch on its own.
• View analytics on a batch under Bulk links you’ve made, or on a row in the recipient list, opens the view already filtered to that scope.

Load it into your sending tool

Where the CSV goes differs by tool. Step-by-step pages per tool:

• Bulk-send per-recipient links with Gmail’s built-in mail merge (CSV)
• Bulk-send per-recipient links with YAMM (CSV)
• Bulk-send per-recipient links with GMass (CSV)
• Bulk-send per-recipient links with HubSpot (CSV)
• Send in bulk with your email tool

If your tool can resolve a merge tag inside a link (Mailchimp, Brevo, lemlist, Instantly, Stibee), you can tell recipients apart with a single link and skip bulk creation entirely. See the last item above.

FAQ

Can I create links in bulk from an email list on Pro?

No. Bulk creation from an email list, and the CSV download that comes with it, need Business or above. On Pro, go to the Share links tab > Add link on the right of All links > Create per-recipient links and use Add row to enter several names at once, up to 10 per document. For a long list, Pro’s email integration lets you paste one link into Mailchimp, Brevo, lemlist, Instantly or Stibee instead.

How many can I create at once?

Up to 500 per batch. For a longer list, run it in chunks of 500 — the extra addresses are flagged “Up to 500 at a time — N left out” and skipped for that batch. A few hundred takes a while. Links are created one after another, so leave the dialog open. If it’s interrupted, what was made is kept and you’re told which addresses remain.

How do I send to the same person again?

Reuse the link you already made. Creating another for the same address gives that person two links and splits their opens.

Can I disable a link later?

Yes. Open the batch from Bulk links you’ve made in the Bulk create pop-up, find that recipient and adjust their share settings. To change the whole batch at once, use the batch’s Settings.

My bulk-created links don't show up in the Share links tab

That’s expected. To keep the list short, bulk-created links don’t get their own rows in the Share links tab. They’re grouped as batches under Bulk links you’ve made in the Bulk create pop-up. Click Bulk create on the right of the All links label — the number next to it is your batch count. Teammates with view-only access can open the pop-up and see the batches too, as long as at least one exists.

Can I rename bulk-created links?

No. Bulk-created links are made from each recipient’s email address, which is how their viewers are identified, so they can’t be renamed. Renaming works only on per-recipient links you named yourself with Add link.
