# Automations for Notifications

> Set up automated notifications in Sendspark to get real-time alerts when prospects view your videos and take action on your outreach.

You can set up an Agentic Workflow in Sendspark to get notified whenever someone watches a video from a dynamic video campaign. Create a new automation, set Sendspark's "New Video Watched" trigger for a specific campaign, then add an action such as Send Email or Slack. Save and turn the automation on to receive alerts every time your video is watched.

## Key takeaways

* Build it in **Agentic Workflows → Create New Automation**.
* Trigger: **Sendspark → "New Video Watched,"** scoped to a **specific campaign** (recommended for better control).
* Action: choose **Slack, Email, or another app** (the example uses Send Email).
* **Save** and toggle the automation **ON** to get an alert every time your video is watched.
