Snov.io integration

12min

Create a CSV containing all your audience information and generate unique links for Nexweave media for each row of information. Import this CSV to Snov.io 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.

In our demonstration, we have mapped :

  • USERNAME -- first name
  • EMAIL -- Email

7. As can be seen from the list of Snov.io variables, there are certain commonly used fields available for mapping.

The CSV sheet containing Nexweave links has 2 additional columns - Image links and Video Links To map these, you will need to create and add custom fields in Snov.io

In the pop-up that appears, enter the field name and set the field type as String

9. Within the same popup, click on Add more fields and once again, enter the field name and select the field type as String

Click on Add fields  to complete

Once the fields are added, map them to the columns containing Nexweave image and video links
