Get notified when shared PDFs are viewed

Get notified when shared PDFs are viewed (with page‑level time)
Share your PDF through Send and get instant alerts on opens and re‑opens, plus page‑level time that shows exactly where attention went. Route notifications to Slack, email, or your CRM so you follow up at the right moment with the right context.
When this is useful
Email attachments and bare links give you little signal. With Send, you’ll know who viewed your PDF, when they viewed it, and which pages they focused on. That clarity turns slow threads into fast next steps.
- Proposals, SOWs, and contracts where timing and intent matter
- Product one‑pagers and pricing sheets that spark questions
- Security and compliance PDFs that require careful reading
- Any sensitive document where you want identity and page‑time

- Instant notifications on opens and re‑opens
- Page‑level time highlights which sections drew attention
- AI Chat and Suggested Questions reduce back‑and‑forth and repetitive meetings
- Replace files under the same link to keep one URL and preserve analytics
