To make videos with AI introductions in Sendspark, create a Dynamic Video campaign, record one video that starts with the phrase “Hi Watermelon” (Sendspark swaps “watermelon” for each viewer’s first name), add your contacts, then click Generate Videos. Sendspark produces a personalized video for every prospect from that single recording, which you can share one-on-one or in bulk.

​
Key takeaways

  • You record one video and Sendspark generates a personalized version for each contact; start the recording with the phrase “Hi Watermelon,” which is replaced with the viewer’s first name.
  • Audio quality is critical: use a high-quality microphone and reduce background noise, reverb, and echo so the cloned voice sounds natural rather than mechanical.
  • The required contact fields are First Name (used for the intro) and Email (the unique identifier for sending); a Background URL such as a homepage or LinkedIn profile further personalizes the video background.
  • Share videos individually (Copy GIF + Video Link is best for email) or in bulk by pasting a code snippet into a sales sequence or email campaign.
Sendspark supports AI-personalized introductions to greet each viewer by name. So you just record one video, and can easily generate personalized videos for each of your prospects (“Hi Brandon,” “Hi Ben,” etc.) This can help you personalize your email outreach at scale — and see up to 300% replies and conversions.

  • **Start your video with the phrase “Hi Watermelon.”**The word “watermelon” will be replaced with your viewer’s first name before you share the video.
  • Leave a brief pause before the word “Watermelon” and the rest of your video. This will make the video sound more seamless.
  • Use a high-quality microphone. The better your sound quality, the better your AI-generated videos will sound.
  • Along the same vein, reduce background noise, reverb, and echo. All of these could get picked up by the voice cloning AI and make your final product sound mechanical.

3. Customize Video Share Page

Feel free to customize the video share page for your viewers. The right-hand side section displays a preview of the share page of the video, and the left-hand side section is where you can edit the Header, Message, and Call-to-action.

Pro Tips for Customizing Your Share Page:

  • Use Merge Tags to further customize the viewing experience. By default, Sendspark supports personalization for your viewers’ first name, company name, and job title.
    • You can change the “fallbacks” for each Merge Tag by clicking on it. This way, if you are missing a property for any contact, they will still have a good viewing experience.
  • Set your global stylesto ensure that your viewer sees the video with your own logo and brand colors. You can find this option under Manage Workspace. The changes apply to all videos created in that specific workspace.
  • Use call-to-actionsto get better results from your video prospecting. To have viewers book demos after watching your video, add a link to your Calendly page, or any other meeting scheduling tool.

4. Add Contacts

Import the contacts for whom you would like to generate AI personalized videos. You can either manually add them or upload a CSV file. Arrow pointing to Review & Generate button above the Contacts import table When uploading contacts, you need to provide:
  • First Name— To allow the Ai to make the intro (i.e. “Hi Bethany,” “Hi Manny,” etc.)
  • Email — to send videos in sales sequences and email campaigns. When sending the videos through Hubspot, Outreach, Instantly, etc., “email” is the unique identifier we use to determine which contact should receive which video.
  • Background URL — to set the background behind your camera bubble in your video. We recommend using your prospects’ homepage or LinkedIn profile to further personalize the video. (Note, if you use their LinkedIn profile, you need to add a LinkedIn cookie to Sendspark before generating the videos).
(The Company & Job Title properties are only recommended if you are planning to use Merge Tags for them)
