<\/p>\nIn this article, we are going to see how to include videos in our Mailrelay messages. As always, this is very easy. To do this, we are going to use the external server that found here:<\/p>\n
m.vid.ly<\/p>\n
When using this service, not only do we guarantee the conversion of our video to different formats, ensuring that it will be viewed properly in different media players, but there is also an added bonus: we will not be using our Mailrelay account\u2019s band width, since the video will be hosted on an external server.<\/p>\n
Adding videos to our email marketing campaigns can be a good idea for certain promotions and opens up more possibilities when creating our newsletters.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s now look at what steps we need to take to add our video to the email newsletter. The first step is to upload our video. We will click on \u201cTry one,\u201d which we can see highlighted in the following image:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

The next step will be to create the URL that our video will use. We can use the one given to us by default:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_2.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
We will click on the \u201cStart\u201d button with the URL that we have written, or the one given to us by default. Then we will have to select where our video is stored, be it FTP, HTTP, S3, Cloud, or we will upload it directly from our computer. In this last step, we will select:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_3.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
We will then select the video that we wish to use in our email marketing campaign:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_4.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Then all we have to do is insert the email address where we want to receive notification that the process has concluded and click on the \u201cFinish\u201d button for our video to configure.<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_5.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
We will be able to see the progress of this process in a bar on our screen, which will also give us information on the formats that are being created. We can see it in the following image:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_6.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Once this process is finished, we will go to a page that looks like this:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_7.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
On this page, we will find different URLs to share our video as well as Iframe codes, even though this is not what we are going to do at this moment. We only need our video\u2019s basic URL:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next step will be to create a new newsletter in our Mailrelay panel. As always, we will go to the \u201cList of newsletters\u201d tab:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_8.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Then we will click on the \u201cCreate\u201d button and we will enter in the basic information for our newsletter:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_9.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
The next step will be to create the basic content of our email newsletter, such as text, headings, etc. Let\u2019s see an example:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_10.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s now look at the HTML code that our newsletter has generated by clicking on the \u201cSource HTML\u201d button:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_11.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Here we will have to add\u2014and this is the only tricky part of the tutorial\u2014the following code:<\/p>\n
[code lang=”php”]
\nClick to play video<\/p>\n
[\/code]<\/p>\n
With this, our newsletter\u2019s source HTML will look like this:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_12.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s now go back to the non-HTML version. By clicking on the same button as before, \u201cSource HTML\u201d, we can see what the video looks like inserted in the newsletter:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_13.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Now all we have to do is follow the normal process and complete our newsletter, preparing it to be sent.<\/p>\n
Now we will go back over how we created the code to insert the video into the email, since, as we have said, this is the most difficult part. First, let\u2019s recall that we need to have our video\u2019s URL.<\/p>\n
The portion of this URL that refers to our video is the following:<\/p>\n
2n5n6h<\/p>\n
In the code we saw earlier, you only have to substitute that number with the number belonging to your video to be able to use it. Let\u2019s look at an example of how our newsletter looks in a Hotmail inbox:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_14.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
As we can see in this case, we can play the video directly because Hotmail supports this function. If the email provider does not support it, like in the case of Gmail, we will see a screen that looks like this:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_15.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
Instead, we get an image of the video, which, when we click on it, loads the online version of the newsletter:<\/p>\n
![\"Enviar](\"https:\/\/wpstaging.mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/enviar_videos_en_newsletter_16.png\")
<\/p>\n
Sending videos in email newsletters<\/p>\n
with the appropriate video player that allows us to see the content of the video in the newsletter, just as we want.<\/p>\n
We have been able to show that inserting videos in a newsletter is fairly simple and only requires a little bit of editing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
