email The contact’s email you want to add tags to.
If you don’t want to use the shortcode’s email attribute, you can set it via url by adding the ’email’ parameter and
it will use that email for every videos you have in a page(in case you have multiple videos).

If you have multiple videos and you want set different email for each videos but you don’t want to use the shortcode’s
email attribute, you can add multiple emails in the url by using email[0], email[1], etc. but make sure it corresponds
to the shortcode’s ‘id’ attribute.


Example for using the email attribute in the url:

shortcodes you use:
[acvt_youtube_tracker video_id=1234 id=0]
[acvt_youtube_tracker video_id=2345 id=1]
