Why Use Video Progress Tracking?

Video progress tracking in HighLevel allows you to create automations based on the percentage of video watched by your leads. This is incredibly useful for:

  • Personalized Engagement: Sending tailored messages based on viewer engagement.

  • Improved Conversion: Encouraging viewers who drop off early to re-engage.

Setting Up Video Progress Tracking

Step 1: Prepare Your Video Page

  1. Open Your Funnel: Go to the page where your video is hosted and open it in the editor.
  2. Select Video Element: Click on the video element, then scroll down on the right panel.
  3. Disable Progress Bar: Turn off the progress bar to ensure accurate tracking.
  4. Enable Redirect for Unregistered Visitors: This option ensures you capture contact information before viewers can watch the video.

Step 2: Create a Form Capture Page

  1. Create a Blank Page: In the same funnel, create a blank page with a form to capture contact details.
  2. Redirect Unregistered Visitors: Configure your video page to redirect unregistered viewers to this new form page.

Step 3: Set Up Automation

Step 4: Build Follow-Up Actions

  1. Add Tags: Assign a tag to leads based on their engagement (e.g., “Lead Followup Webinar”).
  2. Send Follow-Up Email: Create an email action to reach out to leads who met the trigger criteria. Customize your email content to prompt further engagement or offer assistance.
  3. Publish Workflow: Save and publish your workflow.

Testing Your Setup
