# AI-Personalized Videos in LinkedIn Automation

> Want to send personalized videos in LinkedIn messages and InMails... But without recording videos individually for each viewer?

Sendspark lets you send AI-personalized videos in LinkedIn messages and InMails without recording each one individually. Create a Dynamic Video Campaign with a "watermelon" placeholder, import your contacts' CSV (mapping the LinkedIn Profile URL), generate videos in bulk, then export the CSV and import it into nearly any LinkedIn automation platform.

## Key takeaways

* Create one Dynamic Video Campaign using the placeholder word "watermelon" where the viewer's first name should go.
* Map the LinkedIn Profile URL when importing your CSV so the right video matches the right person later.
* After generating in bulk, export Sendspark's CSV — it adds a "Video Links" column of unique, AI-personalized video URLs.
* In your LinkedIn automation platform, map both LinkedIn URL and Video Link, then use the Video Link placeholder in your message.
* Sendspark has a native Expandi integration if you don't already use a LinkedIn automation tool you love.

Want to send personalized videos in LinkedIn messages and InMails... But without recording videos individually for each viewer?

In this tutorial, we'll show how you can use [Sendspark](https://sendspark.com) to create personalized videos, and send them in nearly any LinkedIn automation platform.

Note: Sendspark has a native integration with Expandi. So, if you're not using a LinkedIn automation platform you love yet, we recommend using Expandi for the best experience. (See the [Sendspark + Expandi Integration Guide](/expandi-integration-ai-personalized-videos))

## How to Sendspark AI-Personalized Videos in LinkedIn Automation

* "Video Link" from Sendspark into a field in your platform, so you can use this variable where you want to send the video in your message.
