Key takeaways
- Download Sendspark’s updated CSV, not your original list. The updated export filters out any videos that did not process successfully.
- When importing to Zoho, only the mandatory fields (email and first name) need mapping. Job title and company name are optional, and you do not need to map Video Link or background URL.
- Paste Sendspark’s Zoho HTML (from Share Campaign → Zoho) into an Insert HTML block inside a Zoho email campaign.
- For accurate testing, add yourself as a contact and send to a secondary email on a different domain — sending from the same inbox to the same inbox can be flagged as spam and placeholders may not render in test emails.
