Email marketing integration

Sendspark Constant Contact integration for embedded and personalized video

Paste your Sendspark video into Constant Contact through a Custom code email, or link a GIF thumbnail to your video page from an image block. It's for teams emailing Constant Contact lists who want a real video, not a preview that sends people to another site. Sendspark is an AI personalized video platform: one recording becomes a personalized video for each contact.

The problem today

The video in your email just sends people somewhere else

A preview image that links out to a public video site isn't a video email, and it isn't personal. Anything better looks like a coding job, so most sends go out with no video at all.

How it works

How to use Sendspark with Constant Contact

  1. 1

    Pick the Custom code template

    Create a new email in Constant Contact and, at Select a template, click Custom code. The standard drag-and-drop templates have no HTML block, so the snippet needs a template that accepts code.

    Constant Contact Select a template header with Brand Templates, Custom code and Import PDF to email options
  2. 2

    Copy the right Sendspark code

    For one video, click Share Video, open Embed video and click Copy Code under Embed in Email, not Embed in Website. For a dynamic campaign, click Share Campaign and select Constant Contact.

    Paste, choose the list and test

    Paste the code where the video should appear, click Continue and select the contact list you generated videos for. Send a test to yourself before the real send.

Personalization

What Constant Contact data personalizes each video

  • Merge tags for first name, company name and job title fill in on the landing page header, message and call to action.
  • In Sendspark's Dynamic Videos tab you'll see only your original recording, sometimes with a banner. Recipients never see that banner, and their background swaps per contact.
  • The embed plays in inboxes that support video; everyone else sees a fallback image that opens your video landing page.
  • On Lead Gen & CRM you can put your SharpSpring calendar beside the video: select SharpSpring in the video page's calendar section and paste your calendar link.

Sendspark and Constant Contact: frequently asked questions

Does Sendspark integrate with Constant Contact?

Yes, by pasting. Sendspark's code goes into a Custom code email, or link a GIF thumbnail in an image block. Contacts don't sync into Constant Contact.

Why not use Constant Contact's own video block?

That block pulls a preview image and links out to the video on another site, so nothing is embedded. Sendspark's code in a Custom code email plays the video where the inbox supports it.

Should I use a thumbnail for cold email in Constant Contact?

The help docs suggest putting deliverability first on cold campaigns and A/B testing a video thumbnail against plain text before you commit.
