How To Capture Emails

Presto Player lets you collect email addresses directly from your videos. You can choose when the email prompt appears and automatically send the collected emails to your email marketing tool.

Email capture is a Pro feature and is available on all paid plans.

This guide covers how to connect an email provider and enable email capture on your videos.

Connect an Email Provider

Before you can collect emails, you need to connect an email service to Presto Player.

To get started:

1. Go to Presto Player > Settings > Integrations > Email Capture in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Choose an email provider from the list and follow the setup steps.

Supported Email Providers

Presto Player currently supports the following options:

• ActiveCampaign
• FluentCRM
• Mailchimp
• MailerLite
• Webhooks
• Other
• Manual Export

Note: If you use a service that is not listed, you can still collect emails. Use Manual Export to download contacts as a CSV file and upload the file manually to your email service. This option is useful when your provider does not offer a direct integration.

Example: Connecting Mailchimp

To connect Mailchimp, you’ll need an API key from your Mailchimp account.

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account.
2. Click your profile icon and select Account.
3. Open the Extras menu and click API keys.

4. Click Create A Key and copy the generated key.

Now add the key to Presto Player:

5. Go to Presto Player > Settings > Integrations > Email Capture.

6. Expand the Mailchimp section.
7. Paste your API key and click Connect.

8. Click Save to finish.

Your email provider is now connected.

Enable Email Capture on a Video

Email capture is controlled through video presets. Any video using that preset will show the email prompt before playing.

1. Open the page or post that contains your video.
2. Click the Presto Player block.
3. In the block settings, scroll to Video Settings.
4. Create a new preset or edit an existing one.
5. Open the Email Capture section and enable it.
6. Adjust the settings as needed, such as when the prompt appears or whether skipping is allowed.
   

   

7. Click Save Preset or Update Preset.

Note: Logged-in users will not see the email prompt since their email is already known.

Where Captured Emails Go

Collected emails are sent to the provider you connected. They are also stored in Presto Player > Emails, where you can view or export them at any time.

You can now collect emails from any video on your site. Connect your provider once, set it up in a preset, and it works automatically across all videos using that preset.
