QuoteValet Videos
QuoteValet supports videos for any document uploaded to QuoteValet. The videos need to be uploaded to YouTube first and can then be displayed on the QuoteValet document. Single or multiple videos can be displayed for a document as well as videos for individual line items. QuoteValet also supports default videos for every type of document (quotes, orders, invoices) created in QuoteWerks so users do not have to remember to manually include videos on documents.
Important: If you have customized the QuoteValet template beyond changing banners and logos, you will need to add code to the QuoteValet template to display the videos. Please contact technical support for information on how to add support for videos to your QuoteValet templates. |
YouTube Video Integration
The YouTube Video Integration enables users to pair QuoteValet with their YouTube account. This integration will allow users to select videos for their QuoteValet documents that have already been uploaded to YouTube instead of having to manually copy and paste the video URL.
Important: When QuoteValet is paired with YouTube, these credentials are used by all users. This means that everyone that has the ability to attach videos, will have access to the YouTube videos for this user. It may be a good idea to create credentials specifically for QuoteWerks and not use a personal YouTube account. |
