Ability to map data sent to Sendspark in Expandi campaigns
D
Dan
I want to be able to map the data that I send to Sendspark when generating a video in an Expandi campaign. Currently, Expandi does not allow customization of the information sent, and it does not send the LinkedIn profile URL, which is crucial for my automation setup. Allowing manual selection of the data to be sent would greatly enhance the integration's flexibility and usability.

Hi Dan, thanks for the detailed request. To make sure we scope this correctly, can you clarify a few things about what you want to map from Expandi into Sendspark?
1) Which Expandi fields do you want to pass into Sendspark for video generation? For example: first name, last name, company, title, LinkedIn profile URL, email, custom fields, campaign name.
2) What do you need the LinkedIn profile URL used for in Sendspark? Is it to:
- Store it as a contact attribute
- Use it as a merge variable in the video landing page
- Use it in a webhook or Zapier flow after the video is created
- Match or dedupe contacts
3) Where should the mapping live from your perspective?
- In Sendspark (you define how incoming Expandi payload fields map to Sendspark fields)
- In Expandi (a field picker before sending)
- Either is fine as long as it is configurable
4) What is the minimum viable improvement for you?
- Just ensure LinkedIn profile URL is included
- Full manual field selection and mapping
- Support for custom fields and fallbacks (for example if LinkedIn URL is missing)
5) How are you generating videos today in the Expandi flow?
- One video per lead automatically
- One video template with dynamic variables
- A mix depending on campaign
If you can share a sample of the data Expandi currently sends (even a redacted payload or a screenshot of the available fields), we can better understand what is possible and what the ideal mapping experience should look like.
