Offer gate

An offer gate is a step placed in front of a shared proposal link. Instead of the document opening for anyone who has the URL, the reader first enters an email address and receives a one-time code; the offer opens once the code is confirmed. If someone with an unknown address tries the link, they can request access and you decide whether to grant it.

It matters when a proposal contains pricing or terms you do not want circulating freely, and when you need to know exactly who is reading. Without a gate, a link forwarded inside the client’s company shows up as anonymous visits: you know someone read the pricing page twice without knowing who. With a gate, each visit is tied to a confirmed address, so “the finance director spent most of her visit on the pricing page” becomes a fact you can act on. The trade-off is friction, and a gate is not right for every send. For a first, exploratory proposal, an open link may be the better choice.

In Seegnals the gate is optional per offer. Unknown emails can request access and you approve them, and the offer stats then show visits, reading time per page and returns against known readers.
