Attracting the attention of a prospective client is often challenging, we make numerous phone calls, attempt to write the 'perfect' email and send it at the 'perfect' time. However, the result is often the same, you can't get your target interested enough to reply to your email and your messages are lost amongst every other standard email they receive daily.

NativeVideo can help you by offering an innovative, intuitive and quick way to record personalised video messages directly from the details page of a Salesforce Lead.
Helping you to stand out, by sending video emails like this:

Lead - Email to a prospectImage RemovedLead - Email to a prospectImage Added


Once your prospect has received the above email, she will be able to click on the thumbnail and watch the video you have recorded:
Lead - Web page with the videoImage RemovedLead - Web page with the videoImage Added



Let's take a closer look on how you can send video messages directly from Salesforce.

The first step is to identify your target, making sure that the Email field is populated with the correct email address of your lead.

Then, click on the "Send Video Email" button on the header of the Lead details page, so that the NativeVideo popup appears. Now, record your personalised video message...

...and once finished, specify pick an email template to fill in the subject and the body of the email:

Then press Submit and that's all done, your prospect will receive the email as soon as the video has been fully processed.


You can now track back the level of engagement and effectiveness of your video messages, once again directly from the lead details page:

Specifically, 

  • "Email Opened" tracks the amount of times the prospect has opened the email
  • "Page Opened", how many times the prospect has clicked on the link on the email, to open the page with the video message
  • "Video Played", to suggest how many times the video has been played
  • "Video Ended", to suggest how many times the video has been played until the end


How to configure this functionality

This functionality is available out of the box in the NativeVideo package, all that you need to do is:

  1. Create a new field on the Video Junction object, adding a new lookup to the Lead standard object. Label this new field as "Lead"
  2. Add a new Action to the Lead object, for example naming it as "Send Video Email", pointing to the "nativevideo:VideoEmailRecording" and setting an height of "405px":
