Systems and methods for video messaging and confirmation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by at least one computer processor of at least one computing device cause performance of a method comprising:

• receiving input defining a message campaign, the input including:
• input defining message campaign events, the execution of which causes a message to be sent to a campaign recipient;
• event triggers for one or more of the message campaign events, the occurrence of which cause an associated message campaign event to be executed, at least one event trigger being triggered upon commencement of the campaign;
• for each campaign event:
• receiving a selection of a stored video file;
• receiving input defining a message to be sent with a link to the selected video file;
• storing data representative of the message campaign and each defined message, each stored message including a link to the selected video file in association with the respective campaign event in a campaign database;
• receiving input of at least one recipient with regard to the message campaign and commencing execution of the message campaign, commencement of the message campaign including generating commenced campaign data in the campaign database;
• wherein each message sent as part of the messaging campaign includes a link to a stored video file the link including data associated with a respective video of a campaign event for which the video is sent, the recipient, and the respective campaign event;
• receiving, over a network, a video request including data associated with a video, a recipient, and a campaign event;
• and
• based on the data associated with the video, the recipient, and the campaign event included in the video request:
• retrieving the requested video based on the data associated with the video;
• sending the retrieved video, over the network, in response to the video request;
• storing, in the campaign database, data with regard to the campaign associated with the received campaign event data indicating that the recipient identified by the received recipient data has viewed the campaign event video;
• and
• applying the campaign event triggers to the data stored in the campaign database to determine if a campaign event trigger is implicated, and executing any triggered campaign events.

A method comprising:

• in an online hosted computing application, receiving a selection of a message template, the message template including a hyperlink to a video message within an online video messaging system;
• receiving a selection of at least one recipient within a listing of contacts in the online hosted computing application;
• receiving input to send an outbound message to the at least one recipient based on the selected message template;
• generating the outbound message to each of the at least one recipients based on the template, generation of the message to each of the at least one recipients including adding data to the video message hyperlink identifying the online hosted computing application from which the message is being sent and an identifier of the respective recipient;
• sending the outbound message to each of the at least one recipients;
• receiving, from the video messaging system in the online hosted computing application, a further message indicating a particular recipient to which the message was sent and an indication that the particular recipient has viewed the video of the hyperlink;
• and
• forwarding the further message to a sender of the message via a messaging function of the online hosted computing application.

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device including at least one processor, at least one memory device, and at least one network interface device;
• instructions stored in the at least one memory device and executable by the at least one processor of the at least one computing device to cause the at least one computing device to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, via the network interface device, a selection of a stored video to send in a message to at least one recipient, the selection received with data identifying a sender;
• receiving, via the network interface device, input designating the at least one recipient the message is to be sent to;
• receiving, via the network interface device, input to send the message to the at least one recipient;
• for each of the at least one recipients, generating and storing a recipient-video identifier in association with the selected video, the respective at least one recipient, and identifying data of the sender;
• executing a process with regard to each of the at least one recipients against a viewed message database to identify a mode of sending the message to each respective recipient;
• sending, via the network interface device, the message to each of the at least one recipients, the message to each recipient including a network address including the recipient-video identifier, the sending in accord with a mode identified for each respective recipient;
• receiving, via the network interface device, a video request including a particular recipient-video identifier;
• receiving, with the video request, requesting client property data identifying properties of a client application the video request was received from;
• storing the client property data, recipient data, and ancillary data regarding the video request in the viewed message database;
• and
• based on the recipient-video identifier included in the video request:
• retrieving the requested video, recipient data, and data identifying the sender;
• sending the retrieved video, over the network, in response to the video request;
• generating and sending, via the network interface device, a message to the sender based on the retrieved data identifying the sender, the message including retrieved recipient data and indicating the recipient as having viewed the video.
