Platform.ly integration

Create a CSV containing all your audience information and generate unique links for Nexweave media for each row of information. Import this CSV to Platform.ly to share personalised and interactive content at scale, in just a few clicks!

For our demonstration, we are sharing a personalised image in an email that hyperlinks to a video landing page.

Let’s begin by creating a new campaign. If you are new to creating Nexweave campaigns, you can have a look out our campaign documentation here



Configure a new campaign



  1. Start by navigating to Campaigns and click on Create New Campaign.
  2. Set the Campaign Name and select the Campaign Type. You can read more about the available campaign types here. Since we aim to use both Image and Video templates as a part of our campaign, we selected the campaign type as Image + Video. However, you may choose either Image or Video campaigns, based on your preferences.

3. Next select the Image and Video templates you would like to employ for this campaign.

  2. Video template : Welcome to the family
  3. Video thumbnail : Welcome Message - Play

4. Select your either default or custom landing page URL and click on Save and Proceed  to continue.

Now let’s proceed to setting up the activation method.



Setting the Activation Method



  1. Start by selecting the Activation Method from the dropdown. For a CSV Campaign, select Bulk Link Campaign.

Upload Contacts to Platform.ly
