Store and manage media files for use in SMS, MMS, and email communications

Media Locker is a centralized storage space in the VineConnect® admin portal where you can upload images, videos, and other media files for use in your client communications. Media can transform regular SMS messages into MMS (multimedia messages) or be embedded directly into emails.

Creating a New Media Object

  • Click the "Add New" button at the top of the Media Locker page
  • Enter a shortcode — A unique identifier for this media file
  • Use a descriptive name that's easy to recognize (e.g., "logo-header", "firm-intro-video")
  • Upload your media file
  • Click "Save"
  • Your media is now available for use in SMS, MMS, and email communications throughout VineConnect®.

    Understanding Your Media Objects

    Once saved, each media object displays:

    Using Media in Communications

    When composing SMS, MMS, or email messages in VineConnect®:

  • Click the media/attachment icon
  • Use the copy button next to the shortcode in Media Locker
  • Paste the shortcode into your message
  • VineConnect® will automatically embed or attach the media when the message is sent
  • This allows you to build reusable media libraries for consistent branding and messaging across all client communications.
