# Generating personalized copies

**GAN.AI makes it easy to generate 1-to-1 personalized videos at scale using three different methods:**

* Automated Bulk Generation (CSV Upload)
* Manual Single Video Generation
* Integration-Based Automated Generation

This guide explains each method so you can choose the workflow that best fits your campaign.

#### Automated Generation (CSV Upload)

Ideal for **bulk video generation** — marketing campaigns, sales outreach, onboarding sequences, etc.

**When to Use This Method**

Use CSV upload when you want to generate **dozens**, **hundreds**, or **thousands** of videos at once.

**How It Works**

You upload a CSV file that contains personalization fields with headers matching your variable names.\
\
GAN.AI automatically generates personalized videos for each row.

**Steps**

* Go to your GAN.AI Dashboard
* Open the Personalized Video Project
* Click Generate Videos
* Select Import CSV

#### Integration-Based Generation (API, CRM, Zapier)

This is the most powerful method for fully automated, real-time personalization.

**Examples of Automated Workflows**

* Generate a personalized welcome video when a user signs up
* Send a personalized “Meeting Reminder” video via email
* Trigger a video when a HubSpot lead changes lifecycle stage
* Auto-create videos for abandoned cart recovery

**How to Set It Up**

1. Open the personalized project you want to set the automated integration for.
2. Go to Project Settings.

5. Authenticate your account
6. Select your trigger event (e.g., “New Lead Created”)
7. Map personalization fields to GAN.AI variables
8. Activate the Workflow

#### **Troubleshooting**

**Videos stuck in the queue**

* Check if your CSV has formatting issues
* Ensure the integration trigger is firing correctly
* Try regenerating the project preview

**Variables are not being replaced correctly**

* Make sure CSV headers match the project variable names
* Review the integration field mapping
* Re-check placeholder formatting in your template

**Did not receive output links**

* Check email deliverability
* Confirm workflow settings
* Verify your export method (CSV download, API callback, etc.)

By choosing the right generation method—CSV upload, manual input, or automated integrations—you can scale personalized video creation exactly the way your campaign needs. GAN.AI makes the entire process fast, flexible, and reliable, ensuring every viewer receives a video that feels truly tailored to them.
