Now that you've integrated BombBomb with Homebot, you can create and send personalized videos to clients while previewing their homeowner or buyer reports.
If you don't have BombBomb, you can still use the report to send an individual client a video message. Learn how HERE.
Continue reading to learn how to send a video message using BombBomb.
To get started, choose a client in your account and click Preview client report from their profile. If you're sending a video message to a buyer, click Buy to preview their buyer's report. If you're sending a video to a homeowner, click their home address (4224 E Playa De Coronado in the example below) to preview their homeowner digest.
Once you're on their report, click Record a BombBomb at the top.
Depending on your device, you have two options for creating your Homebot/BombBomb video. Read on to find out which option is right for you.

Option 1: Sending a BombBomb from your desktop computer
If you're on your computer, creating a BombBomb video in your Homebot account is almost the same as making one on your mobile device, with a few key differences.
BombBomb has done an incredible job of explaining how to set up and use their screen recorder here, but if you're enjoying our written instructions and you've made it this far, read on!
1. From within your client's digest, click the red Record a BombBomb button at the top of the report:
2. BombBomb's recording box will appear in the top right-hand corner of your client's digest.
Click the screen recorder icon located at the bottom of the video recorder (and pictured below) to allow BombBomb's video recorder to live-capture your computer screen in your recording.
3. You will then be taken to a new tab where the BombBomb screen record app opens.
Follow BombBomb's instructions for downloading and installing the BombBomb Desktop App on your computer.
Note: You'll need to complete this step to authorize screen sharing and allow clients to simultaneously see their digest (your screen) and your smiling face.
4. You'll know that the BombBomb screen record app is open when you see the BombBomb bar at the top of your screen.
Click the red Start Recording button to begin recording your video and your screen at the same time.
Important Note: You'll get a 3-second countdown before the recording starts. Make sure your desktop view only shows your client's digest. The screen recorder will capture anything open and visible on your computer screen.
See our example, featured directly below, for an optimal screen and video capture.
Note: At any time during the recording, you can stop recording your computer screen by clicking the Switch to Camera Mode button directly under your video bubble (featured below by the pink arrow). This will end the screen recording but will continue recording your personalized video.
5. When you are finished recording your entire video, click the red STOP button to end your recording.
6. To preview your video, click the triangular PLAY button in the video screen located at the bottom and in the center of your video screen (the white triangle).
7. Once you are happy with your video, click the blue Save Video button to keep it, proceed with further customization, and send it.
6. Once your video has been saved, you can add the recipient's email address and edit the Subject line and the Body of your video email.
7. When you have double-checked your video message, click the Send Email button (featured below by the pink arrow) to send your video and your client's digest to them directly.
For more information on recording and sending videos, our friends at BombBomb have an incredible FAQ and help section.
Option 2: Sending a BombBomb from your mobile device
Start BombBomb's video recorder from within the digest by clicking the red RECORD button in the upper right-hand corner of your clients' digest.
2. Now, click the red Record Your Video button in the center of your screen. Fix your hair, smile, and get ready to record your video!
3. After you've finished recording your video, click the red STOP button to stop your video recording.
4. To preview your video, click the triangular PLAY button in the video screen located at the bottom and in the center of your video screen (the white triangle).
5. Once you are happy with your video, click the blue Save Video button to keep your video, proceed with further customizing, and send your video.
Note: You can also click the white text that reads RE-RECORD to create a new version of your video (this function automatically deletes the old video).
6. Once your video has been saved, you can add the recipient's email address and edit the Subject line and the Body of your video email.
Feel free to change these fields to whatever you'd like by clicking in the boxes, deleting the text, and retyping your new text.
Note: For ease of use, Homebot automatically suggests these three fields and inserts a CTA, "View your Homebot Report," that sends the client directly to their home digest.
7. When you have double-checked your video message, click the Send Email button (featured below by the pink arrow) to send your video and your client's digest to them directly.
That's it! Your client will now receive a personalized BombBomb video of you along with their updated Homeowner digest.
