Leveraging Lead Capture
Any email addresses captured with your videos will be used to automatically tag leads in your video engagement metrics. You can easily see which of your leads are the most engaged, and get a sense of which ones will be most valuable.
You’ll also notice a “Download CSV” button at the top right of each video engagement metrics page. You can now export all email addresses captured by a given video. Exporting allows you to use this list of emails with any email or marketing platform of your choice, or for any other use you can imagine. The export will also include all of the engagement session details for each email address captured.
Emails can also be passed directly to a marketing platform integrated with SproutVideo. From there, you can launch an email marketing campaign based on the video they watched:
Viewer Tagging Options
In addition, we’ve added more ways automatically tag your viewers. If you already have their email address, you can alter the link to the page on which you’ve embedded your video. Or, add a custom parameter to the video embed code. Check out our help article about tagging viewers for more information on how to setup viewer tagging.
