The Deliver wing at a glance
Find your way around the Deliver launchpad, the Galleries list and the Delivery card on a client record.
Deliver is the wing where a finished film becomes a page the couple opens in their browser. Every gallery starts from the Deliver launchpad, lives in the Galleries list, and also shows up on the client's record in Manage.
The Deliver launchpad
Switch to Deliver in the top bar and you land on the launchpad. It has four areas, top to bottom.
Hero
A looping film plays behind the heading Ready to deliver? Let's wrap the film. Under it: "One page that holds the film, sends the link, and keeps everything in one place for the couple to come back to."
Start a gallery
The card marked Featured is titled Start a gallery: "Pick the client, drop the film, and Hailo spins up the page they'll watch it on." Click anywhere on it to open the new-gallery wizard. See Create a gallery.
Recent deliveries
Your latest galleries as cards. The caption reads "Your latest pages. The full list lives under Deliveries."
- Use the capsule to filter: All, Drafts or Published. It opens on All.
- Click View all to open the full Galleries list.
- Click a card to open that gallery in the editor.
Each card shows:
| Part of the card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Cover | The gallery's cover photo, a looping banner video or the cover cut from the film. If none is set yet, the words No cover yet. |
| Title | The couple's names, unless you typed your own page title. |
| Meta line | The client's name, then Updated and the date. The client name is left out when it would repeat the title. |
| Status chip | Published (green), Locked (the gallery has a password but is not published yet) or Draft. |
| The small x | Deletes the gallery. Its tooltip is Delete this delivery. It opens a confirm dialog inside Hailo; see Delete a gallery. |
If a filter has nothing in it you see: "Nothing here yet. Switch the toggle or start a gallery above."
Browse templates
"The visual designs your gallery can use. Pick one when you start a new gallery." Each template card is a live, scaled-down rendering of that look with a sample couple, not a static picture. Four looks sit on this shelf: Gallery, Cinematic, Minimal and Heritage. The other four looks are reached from inside the editor; see Looks and presets.
Each card has two buttons:
- Preview opens the look full size with sample data.
- Use template opens the new-gallery wizard with that look already chosen.
The Galleries list
Open it from View all on the launchpad. The breadcrumb reads Deliver / Deliveries and the heading is Galleries: "Every gallery you've built. Copy a link, edit one, or peek at what the couple sees."
- New gallery (top right) opens the wizard.
- Filter pills with counts: All, Draft, Published. The pills are hidden until you have at least one gallery.
Reading a gallery card
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Thumbnail | The cover, or No cover yet. |
| Chip, top left | The look the gallery uses. |
| Chip, top right | Expired (amber) if the expiry date has passed, otherwise Published (green) or Draft (grey). Expired wins over Published. |
| N viewers | How many different browsers have opened the published page. One person refreshing five times is still one viewer. Your own visits never count. |
| N plays | How many times someone pressed play. Shown only once there has been at least one play. |
| N% watched | The furthest point any viewer has reached in the film. Shown only once there has been a play. |
| N dl | How many film files have been downloaded. A "download all" counts one per file. |
See Analytics for what these numbers do and do not tell you.
The four icon actions
Hover the icons at the foot of a card for their tooltips.
| Icon | What it does | Tooltip on a draft |
|---|---|---|
| Copy link | Copies the couple's link. If you have a custom domain, the link uses it. | Copy public link. It won't open for anyone until you publish |
| Open | Opens the couple's page. On a draft, you see the real gallery while anyone else with the link sees the "not ready" page. | Open public page. Only you can see it until you publish |
| Pencil | Opens the gallery in the editor. | |
| Trash (turns red on hover) | Deletes the gallery. | Delete delivery |
Deleting from the list
Click the trash icon. A dialog titled Delete "
Empty states
With no galleries the list shows No deliveries yet (or No draft deliveries / No published deliveries when a filter is on) with "Build the first one. Pick a template, attach a project, share the public URL with the couple." and a New gallery button.
The Delivery card on a client record
Open a client (or a lead) in Manage and scroll to the card titled Delivery (N), where N is how many galleries belong to them. It has a New delivery button that opens the wizard with that client picked.
Each row shows the gallery title (click it to open the editor), the look, a status pill (sent, published or draft) and either View live or a greyed not published.
With no gallery yet the card reads "No delivery page yet. Start one" with a link into the wizard.
Where the couple's link points
Every gallery has one public link. If you have connected a custom domain and it is live, the link is on your domain. Otherwise it is on hailo.studio. Links you have already sent keep working after you connect a domain. See Custom domain and Custom link ending.
If it didn't work
- A card has no cover. Set one from the Cover panel in the editor; see Cover. New galleries take a cover frame from the feature film on their own once it lands.
- The viewer count is not moving. Only published pages count, and your own visits are always ignored. Check the status chip.
- A gallery shows Expired. Change or clear the date in the editor's Access panel; see Password and expiry.
