Creating a digital leaflet in Horizon is quick and simple once your product feed and campaign data are set up.
đ In this guide, weâll go through:
Before you create a leaflet

iPaper will do this for you.
We support valid Google Merchant Feeds that:
Follow Google specifications
Has a a file format of XML or CSV

This gives Horizon access to your product data, including prices, product descriptions, images and more.
Youâve filled out some campaign data
Briefing data is a static file (Excel) where you define which products to include in the leaflet and how they should be grouped, shown together and in relation to each other â and much more.
To make this process easier for you, weâve created a Standard Briefing Data template:
You can find more description and explanation here.

You can also see a preview of your leaflet by clicking "Preview".
Note that when a leaflet is published, it is accessible on a public, though obscure, URL.
4. Add the leaflet to an Alias
See explanation and instructions here:
If your leaflet isnât the first leaflet on the Alias, and that Alias has previously been embedded on your site, you donât need to do anymore. The leaflet will be published to your site at the time specified in the Alias.
It is possible to schedule an unpublished leaflet on an Alias, but that leaflet will not show on your website if left unpublished.
5. If relevant: Embed on your website
If the newly created leaflet is your first leaflet, or you want to have it on a new page, youâll need to embed it on your site.
