Send Sendspark dynamic videos through Mixmax using HTML embed code that shows a clickable video thumbnail in your email. Copy the Mixmax code from Share Campaign, paste it into your Mixmax sequence or email, adjust the thumbnail size, and send. Mixmax uses the recipient’s email to match and personalize each video.

​
Key takeaways

  • Generate your videos first, then copy the Mixmax HTML embed code from Share Campaign, Mixmax.
  • Paste it into your Mixmax sequence or email; a placeholder appears that becomes a video thumbnail once the email is sent.
  • Choose “Best Fit” to size the thumbnail cleanly, or resize manually from the corner.
  • Mixmax matches the correct video using the recipient’s email, so contact emails must match your campaign data.
  • Always send yourself a test email first to confirm the clickable thumbnail and landing page link.
