Email Embed VideoAsk

Hey @belinda_long . I created a new conversation/question on your behalf! Easier for the VideoAsk team to spot it cc @Maya @Grace 🤓

Thanks for linking my question! @Gabriel 

Cheers for that info @Grace ! So, it doesn’t look like Flodesk offers any embed block option within the email body at all & if I copy and paste the embed code into the body of the email it just sits there like a bunch of code 😭

At this point the best I can come up with is to use the “reply to me” button to link to my videoask URL which opens in another window with my videoask welcome video and the three options to reply via videoask, audio or text. But, don’t worry, I’m determined, haha I’ll get in touch with Flodesk & see what workaround they can come up with.

Will keep you all posted 😉

I’ll also add this as an integrations request, let us know if Flodesk have any good ideas! 

Fantastic, thank you! @Grace 

@belinda_long Hey there! Just came across this thread, as I’m having the same issue with Flodesk/VideoAsk embed integration -- wondered if you had heard anything back from Flodesk regarding this? Would love any insight you’ve found! Thanks!

Hey Amanda! Yeah, so basically it was a “no can do” from Flodesk (for the moment).

They are still pretty early in their start-up journey and have been rolling out some solid features and updates of late so hopefully an embed option comes along soon! 🙏🏼

In the meantime, I have been using a video still with a play button & using it as an image with a clickable link through to the active videoask page (see example screenshot below). 

The visual component helps to prompt people to click through and interact with the videoask to ask questions and engage ;) 

Hope this helps! I’ll be sure to come back to this post once I discover a solid solution ⚡️

Ps. @Amanda Walls the play button graphic + text I created in Canva , took about 2 mins ;)

Oooh thanks for sharing your workaround @belinda_long hope Flodesk can get an embed on the go soon but in the meantime this looks like a pretty smooth alternative! 

Thanks for the response @belinda_long! I actually ended up doing the same thing. :)
