Open your Smart Vid — log in to your Vidalytics account, navigate to Smart Vids, and select the Smart Vid you want to edit.
Open the video editor and locate Timed Tags — inside the step you want to tag, open the video editor and find the Timed Tags option.
Configure your tag — set up each tag with the following:
- Timestamp or percentage — choose the exact moment in the video where you want the tag to fire, either by timestamp or as a percentage of the video's total length
- Tag name — give it a descriptive name that reflects what the viewer has engaged with at that point in the video
- Field — set the correct field so the tag can identify the viewer and follow their data through the entire Smart Vid flow
Save — once all your tags are configured, click Save. Your tags will now fire automatically whenever a viewer reaches the specified point in the video.
Important: The field you set on your Timed Tag must match exactly the field name being passed through your URL — including capitalization and spacing. If the field does not match the source field, the tag will not be assigned to the correct contact and your CRM data will be incomplete.
Benefits
Precise Viewer Segmentation
Timed Tags let you capture viewer behavior at specific moments — not just whether someone watched, but how far they got and what they engaged with along the way. Use this data to segment your audience and tailor your follow-up based on exactly where each viewer was in your content.
Data That Follows the Viewer Through the Flow
Because tags are stored in the session from the first step all the way to the last, the data you capture travels with each viewer regardless of which path they take through your Smart Vid. Your CRM receives a complete picture of their journey — not just a single interaction.
No External Tools Required
Timed Tags are built directly into Vidalytics. There is no need for additional tracking scripts, third-party tag managers, or complex workarounds — just set your tags inside the editor and they work automatically.
