With BombBomb's call-to-action banners, your recipient will be able to click on a hyperlink that appears at the bottom of your video. It's a great way to direct people to your website, send them to a form to fill out, etc. It helps your recipient quickly and easily take the next step, right from your video landing page.
Important Note: With the exception of the Android mobile app, once a call-to-action banner has been added to a video, it can't be removed or changed. Call-to-action banners also cannot be added to existing videos.
Watch this video or keep reading below to learn how.
Here are the step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Go to your Videos tab and click "New Video." (You can also start recording a new video from an email template, the Quick Send button, or the Chrome extension.)
Step 2: Record your video, and hit the red square button when you're done recording.
Pro Tip: When recording, make sure to direct people to your link and point downwards so your recipient knows where to click!
Step 3: On the edit screen, you can either toggle on CTA or click "Add a Call-to-Action Banner."
Step 4: Enter the text of your call-to-action under Banner Title and add the link you'd like to direct them to. Then click "Save CTA."
Step 5: Now you'll see your call-to-action banner appear at the bottom of your video. When you're ready, click the "Save" button.
Step 6: Share your video as usual. Now when your recipient views your email, they'll see the call-to-action at the bottom of your video.

I need to know how to CHANGE the CTA after I've saved it. Can you help?
Hi April!
Thanks for reaching out and for your question!
Currently there is not a way to change the CTA from the desktop application (via BombBomb.com) once it has been added and recorded.
If you are an Android user, however, you now have the ability from within the Mobile App to go in and edit the video's CTA. This feature is only available on the Android though, and we hope the iPhone app will follow in the near future.
Please let us know if you have any other questions and we are happy to assist!
Will you remind me how to show my email or phone in the CTA please?
Hi Ken!
Great question! If you want to have your banner say something like, "Click to Email Me!" the hyperlink would read: mailto:example@example.com (but using your email address).
Similarly, if you want someone to call you, you can use: tel:xxxxxxxxxx (but using your phone number) in the hyperlink field.
I hope this helps, but if you need anything else please let me know!
