To auto-send personalized video emails in Apollo, create a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark, paste a Sendspark placeholder into your Apollo sequence email, then build a Sendspark automation that triggers on “Sendspark Video Generated,” finds the contact in Apollo, and calls the Apollo API to enroll them in your sequence. Each contact is added automatically once their video is ready.

​
Key takeaways

  • The setup has three parts: a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark, a Sendspark placeholder in your Apollo sequence email, and a Sendspark automation that enrolls contacts in Apollo.
  • Use “Sendspark Video Generated” as the trigger so contacts only enroll once their personalized video is ready.
  • Enroll contacts by calling the Apollo API endpoint https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/emailer_campaigns/{YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID}/add_contact_ids with a POST request.
  • Find your Apollo campaign ID in the URL of your Apollo sequence, and get your API key from Apollo’s Developer Keys page.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to automatically send AI-personalized Sendspark videos through Apollo sequences.

​
Step 1: Create a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark

Start by setting up a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark. This is the template video that will be personalized at scale with your contact’s details (name, company, etc.).

​
Step 2: Add a Sendspark Placeholder into Your Apollo Sequence

In Apollo, edit your sequence email where you’d like the personalized video to appear. This placeholder will automatically update with each contact’s unique video once it’s generated. Add this into Apollo by…
  1. Going to your Dynamic Video Campaign
  2. Clicking “Share Video”
  3. Searching for “Apollo”
  4. Clicking on the snippet to copy it to your clipboard ​Sendspark Share Video dialog with Apollo option highlighted in search results
  5. Pasting into Apollo exactly where you’d like it to appear in your email ​Apollo sequence email editor with Sendspark video placeholder code pasted

​
Step 3: Build a Sendspark Automation to Enroll Contacts in Apollo

Now we’ll set up an automation that connects Sendspark with Apollo that looks something like this: Sendspark automation workflow diagram showing trigger and action steps

​
1. Choose Your Trigger

  • If you already have a trigger (like “Contact added to Apollo list” or “Contact added in HubSpot”), use that.
  • Otherwise, simply use “Sendspark Video Generated” as the trigger and connect the dynamic video campaign you’d like to use ​Sendspark automation trigger selection with Sendspark Video Generated option

​
2. Add Step: Apollo.io: Find Contact

  • Add a step: Apollo.io: Find Contact
  • Use the Sendspark email field as the search parameter. ​Sendspark automation step showing Apollo Find Contact with email parameter

​
3. Add Step: HTTP Request/Outgoing webhook: Send request

  • Create a new step: HTTP Request/Outgoing webhook: Send request
  • Paste the following URL, using the real campaign ID from your Apollo sequence (you can find it in the URL of your Apollo sequence):
​URL:
How to Find Apollo Campaign ID: Apollo sequence URL bar showing campaign ID in the address Make sure to select **“Json,“**so everything looks like this: Sendspark HTTP request configuration set to JSON format Click “Continue” and fill out the rest of the API call: Request Method: POST Request Parameters:
  • contact_ids → StringArray → insert this dynamically from the “Find Lead in Apollo” step
  • emailer_campaign_id → String →Your Apollo campaign ID (find this in the URL of your sequence)
  • send_email_from_email_account_id → String →Your connected Apollo email account (you can find this from Apollo API Docs)
Request Headers:
  • X-Api-Key → String → Get your Aollo API key here: Apollo Developer Keys
  • Content-Type → String → application/json
It should all look something like this: Sendspark webhook request parameters filled with contact IDs and campaign details After you save this step, you have everything you need to make sure that after leads have videos created for them, you are automatically enrolling them in Apollo sequences.

​
4. Start Automation

When all looks good, “Start” to start running this automation. Sendspark automation Start button ready to activate the workflow Then test your trigger and make sure that contacts are getting successfully enrolled in sequences!

​
Bonus: Create Contacts in Apollo If They Don’t Already Exist

For the most part, your contacts should already exist in Apollo (because they have a large database). However, if you believe that some contacts might not exist, then you can add logic to create contacts in Apollo if they don’t exist.

Frequently asked questions

Create a Dynamic Video Campaign in Sendspark, paste a Sendspark placeholder into your Apollo sequence email, then build a Sendspark automation that triggers on “Sendspark Video Generated,” finds the contact in Apollo by email, and calls the Apollo API to enroll them in your sequence. Contacts are added automatically once their video is ready.
If you already have a trigger such as “Contact added to Apollo list” or “Contact added in HubSpot,” use that. Otherwise use “Sendspark Video Generated” and connect the dynamic video campaign you want to use, so contacts enroll only after their video is ready.
Your Apollo campaign ID appears in the URL of your Apollo sequence. Your API key comes from the Apollo Developer Keys page, and your connected email account ID is available from the Apollo API docs.
Most contacts will already exist because Apollo has a large database. If some might not, you can add logic to create contacts in Apollo if they don’t already exist before enrolling them in the sequence.
