🤩 SalesMail Power Moves: Post Your Animated GIF in a LinkedIn or Facebook post!

Want to grab even more attention with your SalesMail videos?

You can download the animated GIF preview of your SalesMail and use it as an eye-catching "picture post" on LinkedIn — along with a link to your full video so you can drive views, receive push notifications when someone watches your SalesMail video, and benefit from other SalesMail features such as custom call to action buttons.

And for an even bigger impact, you can use a SalesMail Lens to make your GIF pop with animations, backgrounds, or special effects!



Here’s how to do it:


Step 1: Use a SalesMail Lens for Maximum Impact

Before you record your SalesMail video, choose a SalesMail Lens from the Record page in your SalesMail portal.
Lenses add special effects like:

  • Virtual whiteboards

  • Holiday or event themes

  • Fun animations and backgrounds

Choosing a Lens helps your animated GIF preview stand out even more when people scroll by!


Step 2: Download Your Animated GIF

  1. Log into the SalesMail portal.

  2. Find the video you want to share and click the Share button next to it.

  3. On the Share page, you’ll see the animated preview of your video (the moving thumbnail).

  4. Right-click on the animated GIF and select "Save Image As...".

  5. Save the GIF file to your computer — somewhere easy to find like your Desktop or Downloads folder.


Step 3: Create Your LinkedIn or Facebook Post

  1. Open LinkedIn or Facebook and start a new photo post.

  2. Upload the animated GIF you just saved — it will look like a still image at first, but once posted, the animation will loop and catch attention!

  3. In the post text, write a short caption and include a link to your full SalesMail video.

    Example caption:
    "Excited to share a quick update! Check out the full video here ➡️ [Paste your SalesMail link]"

  4. Publish your post — and watch the animation and Lens effects pull people in!


🚀 Pro Tips:

  • Pick a Lens that matches the tone of your message — fun, professional, seasonal, or celebratory.

  • Keep your caption short and upbeat to encourage more clicks.

  • Make sure the first few seconds of your SalesMail video are visually strong — that's what shows in the looping GIF!


✨ Why This Works

Using a SalesMail Lens plus an animated GIF post grabs attention fast — helping your video stand out in busy LinkedIn feeds.
It’s a fun, dynamic way to show off your personality, boost engagement, and drive more views of your SalesMail.
