Introduction
When using the File Upload data connector, a CSV file containing your source (company) records is uploaded to the SundaySky platform. This CSV file is used for personalizing the video. The source data in the file is merged with the video you created, outputting a file with a personalized link for each viewer.
Note:
The file that you import (steps 2b and 2c below) when you are ready to personalize the video is saved to the data library that you selected for the video. This means that the data imported from the file is used by all videos connected to the same data library.
What happens if you import new records after the initial import? When an id identifier in a new record matches an id identifier in an existing record, the data in the new record is used in all the videos using this data library.
In this article you will find instructions for generating video links whether you are using the SundaySky landing page or a non-SundaySky page.
