How to share an HTML deck securely with a client
Verified access, expiry, download control, and instant revoke — without a portal project.
4 min read · Updated 2026-06-09To share an HTML deck securely with a client, host it on Indy and send a gated link instead of a raw URL. Recipients verify by email, you control expiry and downloads, you can allow a whole company domain, and you can revoke access instantly. Every view is tied to a named person so you know exactly who engaged.
What 'securely' actually means here
For client-facing material, security isn't encryption theater — it's control and accountability. You want to know who can open it, for how long, whether they can download it, and you want the power to shut it off. And you want a record of who actually looked.
Set it up in Indy
- Upload or paste your HTML deck. Indy hosts it and gives you a link.
- Add the client's email as a recipient — they verify once to unlock access.
- Optionally allow their whole domain (e.g. acme.com) so the buying committee can self-serve, still individually identified.
- Set a session length or expiry, and decide whether downloads are allowed.
- Share the link. Revoke any recipient the moment a deal dies or a person leaves.
Why not just a Google Slides or Drive link?
A Drive or Slides link is either too open (anyone with the link) or too annoying (request-access friction), and it tells you nothing about engagement. Indy gives you the middle path: frictionless for the right people, closed to everyone else, and fully tracked — plus your HTML renders exactly as designed instead of being flattened into someone else's viewer.
FAQ
Can I stop a client from downloading the file?
Yes — downloads are a per-share toggle in Indy. You can also set an expiry and revoke access entirely at any time.
Can I share with a whole company without listing every email?
Yes. Allowlist the company's domain and anyone with a verified email at that domain can access it — and each person still shows up individually in your tracking.
