Key takeaways
- Requires a Sendspark campaign with processed dynamic videos, a CSV of contact data uploaded to the campaign, and a Mailchimp account with campaign creation access.
- Generate the code with the Share Campaign into MailChimp button, then paste it into a Code block in Mailchimp’s email builder.
- The dynamic video preview won’t render in the Mailchimp editor; you’ll see the main placeholder instead of each personalized version, which is normal.
