Creating Your First Fanflet

The fastest path: Quick Create with Fannie

The quickest way to ship a fanflet is to let Fannie draft one for you. From the dashboard, click Quick Create. Fannie walks through a four-step flow, asks about your talk, and produces a full fanflet with title, sections, and resource blocks already in place. You then refine in the editor.

Read the walkthrough in Quick Create with Fannie.

Or build from scratch

Build manually when you have a clear list of resources in front of you, when you want full control of structure and copy, or when you want to assemble a fanflet from items already in your Resource Library.

Create a new fanflet

The editor: four tabs

The editor groups every fanflet setting into four tabs along the top: Content, Design, Access, Settings.

• Content. The default tab. Edit the title, event name, dates, and the resource blocks themselves.
• Design. Pick the theme that controls colors and typography on the public page.
• Access. Set the public URL, an access code (passcode), gate the page behind a survey question, and adjust expiration. See Access codes and expiration and Surveys and feedback.
• Settings. Configure the confirmation email visitors receive after opting in, toggle whether this fanflet appears on your public speaker portfolio, and archive or unarchive the fanflet. Email collection feeds your subscriber list.

Adding resource blocks

On the Content tab, click Add Resource. Pick one of four block types:

• Link. Point to any URL. Slides on Google Drive, a YouTube video, a blog post. Add a title, optional description, and optional thumbnail.
• File Upload. Upload a PDF, image, or document directly to Fanflet. The file lands in your Resource Library so you reuse it across fanflets.
• Text. A text block for context, instructions, or commentary between resources.
• Sponsor. A branded banner block built for connected sponsors. Includes logo, CTA text, and URL. Requires an active sponsor connection.

Pull from your Resource Library

Instead of entering a block from scratch, click Add from Library to search items you have already saved, or browse them by folder. Pro+ also sees a Sponsor catalog button when a connected sponsor has shared resources with you. Library items added as a Dynamic Link stay in sync with the library. Items added as a Static Copy live only on this fanflet. See Resource Library basics.

Group blocks into sections

Every block has a Section Namefield. Blocks with the same section name render under one heading on the public page. Use sections for “Slides,” “Handouts,” “Further Reading,” or “Featured Partners.” The combobox suggests names you have used before.

Drag to reorder

Drag any block by its handle to reorder. Changes save on drop. See The block editor for the deeper reference.

Sponsor attribution on any block

Any block on a fanflet (link, file, text, or the dedicated Sponsor block) supports an Attribute to a connected sponsor dropdown. When set, every click and download on that block reports back to the sponsor in their analytics. The block stays styled as a normal resource. Use the Sponsor block type for branded banners and use attribution on regular blocks when you want a sponsor to get credit for content that does not look like an ad.

Fannie audits your fanflet on open

When you open the editor, Fannie reviews the fanflet and surfaces suggestions: a missing thumbnail, a vague title, a broken link, an empty section. Apply a fix in one click or dismiss the suggestion. Read more in Fannie, your AI coach.

Preview, publish, share

Clone an existing fanflet

From the fanflets list or the editor, choose Clone to duplicate a fanflet. Title, blocks, sections, theme, and settings copy over. The new fanflet starts unpublished with a fresh public URL, so you tweak details for the next event without rebuilding.

Tips for a strong fanflet

• Keep it focused. Free tier caps at 3 resources per fanflet. Pro and Studio go higher, but a short curated list still beats a dump of links.
• Use descriptive titles.“Slides: Implant Workflow Protocol” reads better than “Slides.pdf.”
• Order by intent. Put the resources attendees want most at the top.
• Set an expiration. Event-specific content gains urgency from a deadline and keeps your portfolio clean.
• Reuse from the library. Edit once, propagate everywhere a dynamic link points.
