Personal Vidyard videos in LinkedIn messages

When someone accepts, Kerux asks Vidyard's Video Agent to make a video for them and waits. When Vidyard calls back with the video, the next message sends it.

How it works

  1. Maria accepts

    Kerux asks Vidyard for her video.

  2. Vidyard makes it

    Your avatar, her name and company.

  3. Sent on LinkedIn

    With the video's thumbnail and link.

An example workflow

  1. Send the LinkedIn invitation.
  2. Accepted: a Call & wait step posts the lead to Vidyard's Video Agent with webhook_url: {{wait.callback_url}}.
  3. The lead waits until Vidyard calls back with the video and its approval status.
  4. A LinkedIn message sends the video link with a short line.
  5. No answer in 4 days: one follow-up message.

What data flows

Kerux sends to Vidyard

  • email
  • lead.first_name
  • lead.last_name
  • lead.title
  • lead.company
  • callback_url

Vidyard sends to Kerux

  • video_uuid
  • thumbnail_url

Set it up

  1. In Vidyard, open Integrations > API for Video Agent and copy the Webhook Endpoint URL and your auth token.
  2. In Kerux, open Integrations > Connections and click Connect on Custom API (under Developers). Pick how Vidyard signs in, paste the key and Vidyard's Base URL, click Save, then Test connection.
  3. Add a Call & wait step with no connection: POST to that endpoint with auth_token, email, firstName, lastName, companyName, jobTitle, vy_custom_id and webhook_url: {{wait.callback_url}}.
  4. Click Listen for test event, run one lead, and use the video fields from Vidyard's callback in your message.
  5. In the campaign's Builder, click Test to open Test on one lead: the lead's journey shows what Kerux sent to Vidyard and what came back.

Questions

Does Kerux have a native Vidyard integration?

Not a one-click app. Kerux works with Vidyard today through Vidyard's own API: you save your Vidyard key once in Kerux, then HTTP steps and webhooks do the work inside your campaigns. Nothing to install and no Zapier needed.

Do videos need my approval?

That's a Video Agent setting. Vidyard's callback includes the video's approval status, so a Condition can hold the message until it's approved.

How is this different from Sendspark?

Sendspark has ready-made Kerux steps. Vidyard works through its Video Agent webhook and a Call & wait step, set up once.

What happens if Vidyard is down or refuses a call?

The lead stops with Vidyard's own error message and shows in Need attention with a Retry button. It never shows as finished because a call failed, and nothing else goes out to that lead until you decide.
