The Sparkforge mobile app records personalized video messages and sends them straight to a contact via SMS, Instagram DM, or Facebook DM. The recipient gets a branded link with a thumbnail preview and watches in their browser — no app install, no extra tooling.

Why Use Video Messages

  • Higher open and reply rates than plain text
  • Adds a face and voice to outreach, which builds trust faster
  • Confirms appointments and reduces no-shows
  • Re-engages cold leads where SMS alone gets ignored
  • Makes onboarding feel personal instead of templated

Record and Send a Video

  1. Open the Sparkforge mobile app.
  2. Open a conversation with a contact (SMS, Instagram, or Facebook DM).
  3. Tap the + icon.
  4. Select Video to launch the camera.
  5. Record your message.
  6. Tap Use Video.
  7. Send. Sparkforge generates a unique branded link with a preview image and delivers it in the conversation.

Tips for Better Video Messages

  • Keep videos between 30 and 60 seconds
  • Open with the contact's name and reference something specific to them
  • Smile and look at the camera lens (not the screen)
  • Stay casual, clear, and short
  • End with one clear ask: "Reply if that works" or "Pick a time here"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I record personalized videos on desktop?
No. The native video message feature lives in the Sparkforge mobile app today.
Can I see whether the contact watched the video?
Watch analytics are not built in. Click tracking on the SMS or email containing the link is available through normal channel reporting.
Is there a length or count limit?
There is no documented count limit. Keep individual videos under two minutes for the smoothest upload and playback.
Will my video be embedded in the message?
It is sent as a link with a thumbnail preview. The recipient taps the link to play in their browser.
Can I add a CTA along with the video?
Yes — type a short message alongside the video link. Full landing pages or embedded CTAs are not part of the native feature.
