OTT Integrations: Connect Vodlix to the Tools You Already Use
Faster search and SMS sign-in codes for your viewers, plus CRM, analytics and storage tools for your team, all switched on from one admin screen.
Which OTT Integrations Does Vodlix Support?
Vodlix supports OTT integrations for SMS, search, CRM, analytics and storage, so your streaming platform works with the tools your team already runs. Viewers feel some of them directly: faster search and sign-in codes by text message. Others work behind the scenes for your marketing and operations teams. You turn each one on and set it up from a single Integrations screen in the admin. To decide which integrations are worth running and how to keep their keys safe, read third party integrations.

Faster Search for Viewers With Typesense or Elastic Search
Viewers find titles faster when search runs on a dedicated search engine. On your storefront, results appear as the viewer types, so a few letters are enough to find a film or series. Vodlix has built-in search that suits most catalogues. When yours grows, a search integration such as Typesense, Elastic Search or Algolia takes over, which adds speed and tolerance for typos.
Let Viewers Sign In With an SMS Code
With an SMS integration, viewers can sign in with a code sent to their phone instead of a password. They enter their mobile number, receive a short code by text message and type it in to sign in. Twilio or SMS4Free sends the code. If you have no SMS integration set up, the same codes can go out by email instead, so code sign-in still works.
Manage All Your OTT Integrations From One Screen
Every integration available to your platform appears as a card on one Integrations screen. Each card shows what the integration does, whether it is connected, and a switch to turn it on or off. Messaging, search, business and storage tools sit side by side, so your team sees what is running without opening each one.
SMS and Messaging Integrations
SMS integrations send the sign-in codes your viewers receive on their phones. Choose Twilio for SMS and other communication services, or SMS4Free to reach viewers in Israel.
Twilio
SMS and communication services, including sign-in codes.
SMS4Free
SMS messaging to viewers in Israel.
Search Engine Integrations for Your Streaming Catalogue
Search integrations replace the built-in content search with a dedicated engine. Use one search engine at a time. Index your catalogue once when you connect it, and index again after large changes so results stay accurate.
Typesense
Fast, typo-tolerant search engine.
Elastic Search
Elasticsearch-powered full-text search.
Algolia
Hosted search as a service.
CRM, ERP, Affiliate and Analytics Integrations
These integrations send viewer and revenue data to the tools your sales and marketing teams already use, so nobody has to work from exports. A CRM receives new activity from the moment you connect it, and a sync sends the subscribers you already have. First Promoter tracks affiliate sales through Stripe checkout, so it needs Stripe checkout in use. For the numbers inside Vodlix itself, see reports and analytics. To send consent-based campaigns to your viewers, see email marketing.
HubSpot
CRM for leads and contacts, connected with an access token.
Vertex CRM
Syncs subscribers and their events to your CRM.
Odoo
Connects the platform to your Odoo ERP.
First Promoter
Affiliate tracking through Stripe checkout.
MixPanel
Product analytics and event tracking.
Google Analytics 4
Add your GA4 ID in the marketing settings.
Storage and Video Upload Integrations
Storage integrations decide where your files are kept. Store thumbnails and images in S3-compatible storage, or bring videos straight in from a cloud drive instead of downloading and uploading them again. For how uploads are processed, see video uploading and transcoding.
Vodlix S3 Uploader
S3-compatible storage for thumbnails and images.
Google Drive
Pick videos from Drive and add them to your library.
Dropbox
Store and retrieve files via Dropbox.
How to Turn On and Set Up an Integration
To add an integration, switch it on and then enter its details. It only starts working once it shows Connected, which means its account details are saved and accepted. Until then the card reads "needs setup". Some integrations connect with one click to approve access; others need an API key pasted in. Switching an integration off stops it but keeps its settings, so it picks up where it left off when you switch it back on. Every change is logged as an admin notification, so you can see who changed what.
How to Connect a Tool That Vodlix Does Not List
You can connect any other tool through the Vodlix REST API, or ask us to build it for you as a custom plugin. Which integrations you can switch on depends on your platform: some come with certain plans, and a few are turned on by Vodlix on request. The Integrations screen in your admin shows what is available to you. Movie data and payments have pages of their own: TMDB integration and payment gateway integrations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.
Which OTT integrations does Vodlix support?
Vodlix supports Twilio and SMS4Free for SMS; Typesense, Elastic Search and Algolia for search; HubSpot, Vertex CRM, Odoo, First Promoter and MixPanel for CRM, affiliates and analytics; and Vodlix S3 Uploader, Google Drive and Dropbox for storage. Google Analytics 4 is added in the settings. Payment gateways and TMDB have their own pages.
Are all integrations included in every Vodlix plan?
Not always. Some integrations come with certain plans, such as Vertex CRM and Dropbox, and a few are switched on by Vodlix on request. The Integrations screen in your admin shows what your platform offers, and our team can confirm a specific integration before you sign.
How do I know if an integration is working?
Look at its card on the Integrations screen. Connected means it is switched on and its account details are saved and accepted. "On · needs setup" means it is switched on but not doing anything yet, so finish setting it up first.
Does turning off an integration delete its settings?
No. Switching an integration off stops it but keeps its settings and data. Switch it back on and it picks up where it left off.
Can I use Typesense and Elastic Search at the same time?
No. Use one search engine at a time, because two engines do not share the job well. With no search integration switched on, your storefront uses the built-in search.
Can I connect a tool that Vodlix does not list?
Yes. Connect it through the Vodlix REST API, or ask Vodlix to build it as a custom plugin. Either way the tool works with your platform directly, with no manual exports.
