What PlusThis Enables With Vidalytics
Once connected, PlusThis lets you trigger automated CRM actions based on video watch time — such as:
- Tagging a contact when they reach a specific point in your video
- Adding viewers to targeted email sequences based on how much they watched
- Triggering follow-up campaigns for viewers who did or did not finish your video
PlusThis also offers a wide range of additional automation tools beyond video — including two-way SMS, webinar automation, appointment scheduling, Facebook audience sync, and expiring offers — all from one platform.
How to Set It Up
Create your PlusThis account and connect your CRM — if you do not have a PlusThis account yet, sign up here. Once signed up, follow the prompts to connect your CRM or email platform.
Create a Video Trigger tool — on your PlusThis dashboard, click Create A Tool and select Video Trigger from the list of available tools.
Add your Vidalytics embed code — in Vidalytics, go to the Edit Settings page for the video you want to use, copy the embed code, and paste it into the designated field in PlusThis.
Define your trigger points — click Next Step and select the specific timestamps in your video where you want CRM actions to fire. These are the moments that will trigger tags or sequences in your CRM when a viewer reaches them. Click Save when done.
Add the generated code snippet to your page — PlusThis will generate a code snippet for you to place on the landing page where your video is embedded. Paste it as instructed within PlusThis.

Important: Make sure the contact's ID and email address are being passed to the page that contains this code snippet. Without this, PlusThis will not be able to identify the viewer and the tags will not fire correctly.
Test and activate — play your video past one of the trigger points you defined and check your CRM to confirm the contact has been tagged correctly. Once everything is working as expected, your integration is live.
Tip: Test in an incognito window and make sure the correct contact information is being passed through the URL before going live. This ensures tags fire correctly as if a new viewer is watching for the first time.
