Embed a page-turning flipbook inside a GoHighLevel funnel page using a Custom HTML element. This tutorial walks through converting your PDF, copying the embed code, sizing it for mobile, adding lead capture around it, and fixing the most common display problems.
Most funnel pages ask visitors to download a PDF, and most visitors never open it. If you want to know how to add a flipbook to a GoHighLevel funnel page, the answer is refreshingly short: convert the PDF into a flipbook with Flipbooks AI, copy the embed code, and paste it into a Custom HTML element inside the funnel builder. The visitor stays on your page, flips through your catalog, lookbook, or lead magnet like a real magazine, and sees your call to action the whole time.
This tutorial walks through the full setup, from preparing the PDF to publishing the funnel step. You will also see where a flipbook fits in a funnel, how to size it for mobile, and how to fix the usual problems when an embed refuses to show up.
A static PDF link sends people away from the page you spent hours building. A flipbook keeps them on it. The document loads inline, pages turn with a smooth effect, and your form, button, or booking calendar sits right next to it.
Every click away from a funnel step is a chance to lose the lead. A downloaded PDF opens in another tab or app, and the visitor rarely returns. An embedded flipbook behaves like part of the page itself, so the funnel path stays intact.
Some offers convert better when people can preview them. A flipbook lets you show the first few pages of an ebook, price list, or portfolio and then ask for an email address to unlock the rest through a second funnel step.
| Funnel Type | Flipbook Content | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Lead magnet funnel | Free ebook or checklist preview | Collect emails |
| Product funnel | Digital catalog or price list | Drive purchases |
| Real estate funnel | Property brochure | Book showings |
| Coaching funnel | Program overview or workbook | Book discovery calls |
| Event funnel | Digital event program | Register attendees |
💡 Pro tip: The best flipbook funnels show value first and ask for contact details second. Place the flipbook above the form, not below it.
The setup takes about ten minutes if you have these ready.
Export the PDF at a reasonable size. Files under 30 MB convert quickly and load faster for visitors. Keep text at 10 points or larger so it stays readable on a phone, and use consistent page dimensions so the page-turn effect looks clean.
Shorter documents convert better inside funnels. A 12 to 24 page flipbook feels like a quick read. A 100 page catalog works too, but add a clear first-page hook so the visitor knows where to look.
You do not need design software. The PDF to Flipbook Converter handles the heavy lifting.
Match the flipbook background to your funnel page background so it blends in. Use your brand color for the toolbar. Keep the effects simple, because visitors are there for the content, not the animation. Flipbooks AI never adds a watermark, so the finished piece looks like yours.
If the flipbook is a paid asset or a gated bonus, turn on password protection. For a public lead magnet preview, leave it open so the embed loads for everyone. You can compare what each plan includes on the pricing page.
Once the flipbook is published, open its share options and select Embed. You will see an iframe snippet that looks like this:
<iframe src="YOUR-FLIPBOOK-LINK" width="100%" height="650" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Copy the whole snippet. The Embed Flipbook on Website page explains the available options in more detail.
| Method | Best For | Visitor Stays on Page |
|---|---|---|
| Embed code (iframe) | Funnel steps, landing pages | Yes |
| Direct link button | Emails, SMS, social posts | No |
| Pop-up with embed | Click-to-view offers | Yes |
For funnels, the embed code wins almost every time. Use the direct link in your follow-up emails and text messages from GoHighLevel instead.
Now the main event. Follow these steps inside the funnel builder.
Set the section to full width or a wide boxed width so the book has room. A narrow column squeezes the pages and makes text hard to read. On desktop, a height between 600 and 700 pixels works well for most documents.
On phones, a double-page spread becomes tiny. Most flipbook viewers switch to a single-page view automatically, but you should still check it. Set the iframe height to around 500 pixels in a mobile-specific section, or use a taller value in the main code if you only want one version.
⚠️ Warning: Do not paste the iframe into a plain text element. GoHighLevel will show the raw code instead of the flipbook. Always use the Custom JS/HTML element.
A flipbook alone is not a funnel. Pair it with a clear action and a reason to take it.
This order lets the visitor sample the content, feel confident, and act without scrolling hunting for the next step.
Show a preview flipbook on step one with a button reading "Get the Full Version." Send the visitor to step two, which contains a GoHighLevel form. After they submit, redirect to a thank-you step with the full flipbook embedded. The preview builds interest, the form captures the lead, and the full document rewards them.
Keep your Facebook pixel, Google tag, and GoHighLevel tracking on the funnel step. If you are on the Professional plan of Flipbooks AI, you also get analytics and lead generation tools inside the flipbook itself, so you can see which pages hold attention.
The same technique fits many businesses. Here is how different users apply it.
An agent embeds a digital property brochure on a listing funnel. Buyers browse photos, floor plans, and neighborhood details, then book a showing through a calendar below. The Real Estate Brochure Creator is built for this.
A coach turns a workout plan into a flipbook preview and uses it as the lead magnet. Visitors read the first week of training, then enter their email for the full eight-week program. Try the Interactive E-Book Publisher for this kind of offer.
A boutique owner publishes a seasonal lookbook or product catalog and drives paid traffic to a funnel page where shoppers browse before clicking through to buy. The Product Catalog Generator works well here.
| Business | Document | Best Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate | Property brochure | Book a showing |
| Fitness coach | Workout ebook | Join email list |
| Retail shop | Product catalog | Visit store or buy |
| Consultant | Case study report | Book a call |
| Restaurant | Menu | Reserve a table |
Most embed issues come down to a few causes.
Check that the flipbook is published and not set to private without a password flow. Paste the direct link into a new browser tab. If it opens there, the problem is in the embed snippet, so copy it again from the share panel.
You used the wrong element. Delete it and add the Custom JS/HTML element instead.
Increase the iframe height and widen the section. Also confirm that the row has no padding that shrinks the column.
Compress large images in the PDF before upload and trim unused pages. A lighter file opens faster, especially on mobile data connections.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Blank box | Unpublished or private flipbook | Publish it or share the right link |
| Raw code visible | Wrong element type | Use Custom JS/HTML |
| Cut-off pages | Height too small | Raise iframe height |
| Slow load | Heavy PDF | Compress images |
✅ Best practice: Always test the live funnel URL in an incognito window and on a real phone. The editor preview can differ from the published page.
You now have everything needed to put a flipbook inside a funnel: a converted PDF, an embed snippet, a Custom HTML element, and a layout that guides the visitor toward one action.
