Implementation Types

My Webiste

Embed your Video Trigger on a page on your website.

Step 1: On the Usage and Instructions page, copy the code under the ‘My Website’ tab.

Step 2: Embed the code in an HTML element on your page where you would like the Video Trigger to display.

Step 3: Be sure to pass contact details to the page the Video Trigger is embedded on. You can do this using the link generator, or by passing details through a HubSpot webform submission.

Step 4: IMPORTANT: If using cue points, the window must be active during the cue point for the contact to be added to the list.

Where would you like to use this video?

Hosted Webpage or Thank You Page

Put this video code where you would like your video to appear. For video triggers to function properly, you must pass the contact record id and email address to the page that uses this code. In Email Builder, append this snippet to the end of the link (the link should be to the page that has your video): ?Id={{contact.id}}&Email={{contact.email}}

Thank You Page

Embed your Video Trigger on a HubSpot hosted Thank You page.

Step 1: On the Usage and Instructions page, copy the code under the ‘HubSpot Thank You Page’ tab.

Step 2: Embed the code on your Hubspot page where you’d like the Video Trigger to Display.

Step 3: Upon a Hubspot webform submission, Hubspot will pass the contact details we need by default.

Important note for Accumulated Time Watched:

It's important to note that if you choose to use "Based on accumulated time spent watching" the tag will only be applied if the browser tab with the video in it remains the active tab the entire time. We can not track accumulated time watched if the tab isn't active while the contact is watching the video. ​
