Custom Tracking Codes

You can use them to trigger Facebook pixels or show chat widgets or popups in your video. You can use them for almost anything.

Custom codes can be configured to run at a specific time or at the very start of the video.

Tags

It is now easy to tag a contact in your CRM when they complete an action in Spotlightr, like watching a specific video or a certain percentage of a video.
