Connect Vidler to your other tools
What's on Settings → Integrations, who can connect each app, and how to send a video into a connected app.
Vidler connects to the chat, issue-tracking, docs and CRM tools your team already uses. Go to Settings → Integrations to see them all. Use the search field to find an app by name.
The page has three tabs: Apps, Feeds and previews and Developers.
Apps
Apps are in three groups:
| Group | Apps | Who connects them |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace apps | Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stella | A workspace owner or admin, once for everyone |
| Your accounts | GitHub, GitLab, Jira and Confluence, Linear, Notion | Each person, with their own account, so videos go out as you |
| Works with a link | Gmail, Outlook, Notion embeds, Confluence, Asana, Trello, Zendesk, Intercom, Front, Zapier, Make | Nothing to connect. Click How it works for tips |
Each row shows its status under the description:
- Connected, with the account, who connected it and when. Click Manage to change its settings or disconnect it.
- Needs attention when the last attempt failed. Whoever can manage the app opens Manage and clicks Reconnect.
- Not connected. Click Connect. Members see "ask a workspace admin to connect it" on workspace apps.
- Not set up on this server. The app can't be connected yet. Setup guide lists what whoever runs your Vidler server needs to add first.
Send a video to an app
Once an app is connected, you can send a video there from the video itself:
- Open the video and click Share.
- Go to the Apps tab.
- Under Send to an app, choose where it goes in Send to, for example Jira: create an issue or Slack: post in a channel.
- Fill in the rest and click the button, such as Post in Slack or Create issue.
If nothing is connected yet, the tab says No apps connected yet with a link to Open integrations.
Copy for apps
Under Copy for apps on the same tab, copy the video's link in the format each app shows best: Markdown, GitHub and GitLab, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira wiki markup, Confluence, Notion, embed code or email. This works with no connection at all.
Feeds and previews
- Link previews: with the Vidler Chrome extension, a Vidler link pasted on sites such as Gmail, GitHub, Jira, Notion or Zendesk becomes a player. Turn Show players for Vidler links on or off, and pick the sites. This is your own setting.
- Space feeds: follow a space in a feed reader or an automation tool with its RSS or JSON feed. A workspace admin turns each feed on. Feeds only list videos anyone with the link can watch.
