      Embed your Dynamic Video in any sequencing tool

      There are two ways to embed your Dynamic Video - using the name of the prospect, and using the email address of the prospect. You'll have to use the name of the prospect for Dynamic videos with only personalized greeting and email address of the prospect for Dynamic videos with only personalized background (with or without personalized greetings). Here are the tutorials for both -
