How to Send AI-Personalized Videos in LinkedIn Automation
Overview of LinkedIn Automation Tools and Integration
LinkedIn automation platforms enable tasks like scheduling, video delivery, and responding to LinkedIn triggers. These platforms can be integrated with Sendspark to include personalized videos in LinkedIn messaging workflows, improving efficiency and engagement.1. Create a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark
Head to the dynamic video section of Sendspark to get started. In your dynamic video campaign, you will be able to select one video and use AI to automatically personalize each video for each viewer.

You can either manually type contact data into Sendspark or upload them via a CSV file. Be sure to map the data correctly, specially the LinkedIn URL. Also, be sure to add the LinkedIn URL instead of another field such as the unique ID or custom field, so that you can use that as a reference in your LinkedIn automation tool such as Expandi. The background URL option is simply to generate a background with that LinkedIn profile. Keep in mind that, if that’s your idea, you would probably want to generate 20 to 30 videos a day to avoid a Linkedin blockage
