🚫 The Problem with Gmail and HTML
By default, Gmail doesn't support HTML embeds when sending mass emails. This means adding dynamic GIFs or HTML elements manually isn't scalable. Until now, bulk sending dynamic video emails was clunky or required third-party platforms.
✅ The New Solution: Sendspark + Gmail (via Automated Workflows)
With our new "Automated Workflows" feature, you can now trigger dynamic video emails to send automatically through Gmail every time a new video is generated.
🔧 Step-by-Step Setup
1. Create a Dynamic Campaign
Head to Campaigns in Sendspark.
Create a new Dynamic Campaign. In this example, we named it
Gmail Mass Campaign.
2. Set Up an Automation
Go to Automated Workflows.
Click “+ New Workflow” and give it a name.
For the Trigger, select:
App: Sendspark
Event: New Video Generated
3. Add the Action – Send Email via Gmail
Click + Add Action
App: Gmail
Action: Send an Email
Connect your Gmail account if you haven't already.
4. Customize Your Email Body (with HTML formatting)
Since we're injecting a dynamic video and Gmail lacks native line breaks in raw HTML, you'll need to use simple HTML tags: (you can review this in the video)
Hey <First Name tag>,<br>
<br>
Check this out!
<p>
<Email Embed HTML>
Tips:
Use
<br>for line breaks.Use
<p>for paragraph spacing.Insert the Email Embed HTML block to add the dynamic GIF/video.
Format: HTML
To:
{{contact.email}}Subject: Customize as needed (e.g., "Here’s Your Personalized Video!")
5. Start the Workflow
Click Save and Start Automation.
Add your contacts or generate videos to trigger the workflow.
✅ Result: Personalized Video Emails, Sent Automatically
Each recipient gets:
Their own personalized video is embedded in the email.
Clean formatting (line breaks, custom names).
Delivery through your Gmail account — nothing else required.
