Key takeaways
- The rule of thumb: if a platform lets you upload a CSV and map a “video link” to a dynamic placeholder in a message, it’s compatible with Sendspark.
- Sendspark has native integration with Expandi, and also works with tools such as Lemlist and The Growth Machine.
- Some tools, like Dripify, do not currently support CSV uploads with dynamic placeholders, so dynamic video campaigns won’t work there yet.
- Even without integration, you can manually copy-paste a video link into a LinkedIn message and LinkedIn generates a thumbnail preview automatically.
