Step-by-Step Tutorial: Getting Started with Vinna AI
Step 1: Prepare Your Lead List
Download your lead list as a CSV file (with email, first name, company, LinkedIn URL, etc.).
Step 2: Upload Your Audience
Log into Vinna AI.
Click on "Audiences" and select "Create Audience."
Upload your CSV file and match the fields (email, first name, company, LinkedIn URL).
Set the unique identifier as the email address to avoid duplicate links.
Choose the LinkedIn profiles or the website as the personalized video background. (mark it as "Website" instead of "Text")
Step 3: Design Your Landing Page
Click on "Landing Pages" and select "Create New."
Choose a template or build from scratch using drag-and-drop blocks.
Drag the "Video" block to position where the personalized video should appear.
Customize the page with logos, testimonials, case studies, calendar embeds, FAQs, etc.
Save, name, and publish the landing page.
Step 4: Record and Upload Videos
Record two types of videos:
Face-Cam Video: A short personal pitch (this appears as a bubble overlay).
Static/Pre-recorded Video: A longer video explaining your offer or service.
Upload both videos to Vinna under "Media"
Step 5: Create a Campaign
Click on "Campaigns" and select "Create New Campaign."
Choose your uploaded audience and designed landing page.
Map personalized variables (first name, company name) with fallback values.
Name and finalize your campaign setup.
Step 6: Set Up Personalized Video Projects
Create a "Video Project" within your campaign.
Choose the shortcode for your video project.
Select the LinkedIn profile or the website as the video background.
Choose "Aggressive" popup removal to hide cookie banners and pop-ups. (If you use LinkedIn profiles as the background, set the popup blocker to "Off")
Attach your uploaded face-cam video and pre-recorded video.
Customize video thumbnail with variables (e.g., "Video for [First Name] [Last Name]").
Select all or specific leads and click "Generate Videos."
Step 7: Generate and Review Videos
Allow the system time (about 10-30 mins depending on amount & server load) to generate personalized videos.
Review the generated videos and landing pages from your dashboard.
Step 8: Integrate with Your Email Sending Tool
Upload the same lead list into your email sending software (e.g., Instantly, Smartlead).
In Vinna, click 'Generate Snippet' then choose the domain, customize video thumbnail style, and copy the provided code snippet.
In your email tool, create a new campaign, switch to "Code View," and paste the snippet where you want the video to appear. (For more info on this part, check out other FAQ articles)
