Updated over a week ago

Heeeeey lemlister! 👋

GIFs are an amazing way to grab your prospect's attention and add personality to your campaigns! Let’s dive into how to add GIFs to your emails step-by-step. 🌟

Step 1: Upload a GIF from Your Computer

1️⃣ Go to Sequence

  • Navigate to your campaign and add an email step.

2️⃣ Add a GIF

  • Proceed as if you’re adding a regular image:

    • Drag and drop the file, or browse it from your computer.

    • Ensure the file is in .gif format and doesn’t exceed 1200px in height or width. 🚨

3️⃣ Add GIF from URL

  • Want to add a GIF from URL? Click on the 🔗 icon and paste the URL leading to your GIF.


Step 2: Add One GIF Per Lead

If you’d like to personalize your emails by adding a unique GIF for each lead, here’s how to do it:

1️⃣ Prepare Your File

  • In your .CSV file, create a column named GIF.

  • Add the custom GIF URLs for each lead in this column.

2️⃣ Insert Your Custom Variable

  • In your sequence, instead of uploading a GIF or using a URL, use the custom variable linked to your GIF column.

3️⃣ Preview Your Sequence

  • In the Launch section, check to ensure the correct custom GIF is displayed for each lead.

Pro Tip: GIFs are perfect for adding a dynamic, fun element to your emails, but don’t overdo it—keep them relevant and engaging!
