Hey @madein84 welcome to the community 

Once you’ve created the videoask you should be able to go to the share panel to retrieve the email “embed” code, are you trying to integrate with your online marketing tool or just sending a one off email at this stage? 

Just in case you haven’t already seen it, we do have this Help Center article which could be useful, but let me know how you’re planning on sending the email and I’m sure we can get to the bottom of this!

hi @Grace I am trying to send a one off email. 

The instructions you attached are showing desktop instructions. I can send one off emails without any issue from the desktop. 

My issue is specifically with sending an email from the app. When I hit the share via email there is no option to copy an embed code. it just opens up my gmail and the email body is blank. and when I go back to  app it says there is an error. 
 

Hey @madein84 in your iOS settings, do you have an email account set up under Mail? I think that’s where the VideoAsk app pulls the default email from so if there’s nothing set up it won’t work. 

@Grace yes I have email set up on the phone. it's not a new device. 
default email is set to gmail. 
when I hit share via email  in the videoask app the gmail app open up right away. BUt the email body is just blank as I described in the previous posts. 
 is gmail supposed to open up right away or is the option to copy the embed code supposed to show first when I tap the share via email button?  

@Grace basically I don't see an option to get the embed code when using the app… how do I fix this?

Hey @madein84 if your gmail is connected to your iOS mail it should be working, would you mind getting in touch with our support team here so they can investigate this with you?

@Grace  I was able to resolve the issue.thanks. I had an email set up on the phone (gmail) and connected in the IOS setting, but there was no email set up in the native iphone mail app because I use the gmail app.

I had to add the email I wanted to use to send the video ask from my phone to the native mail app. this resolved the issue.
videoask now opens the native iphone mail app and the video preview and link are there VS opening a blank gmail email. 

this detail should be added to the instructions or in an FAQ somewhere.  

Hi @madein84 Glad to hear you were able to figure it out! I shared this feedback with the Help Center folks. That’s a good note to make - thank you!
