How to Get Slack Notifications When Someone Watches Your Video
Get notified in real time when someone watches your video or clicks on a call to action.
1. Create Automated Workflow In Sendspark
Go to the Automated Workflow section of Sendspark
Click "New Automation" to create a new automated workflow
2. Set Trigger: Webhook
Click "Add a Trigger"
For the trigger, select "Incoming Webhook"
Click "Add a Connection" to add a new webhook
Give your connection a name, and then hit "Continue"
Copy the webhook link to your clipboard
Now, go to the webhook section of Sendspark to connect this webhook.
Click "New Webhook"
Give it a name, and paste your webhook link, and click "Create Webhook"
Now, select when you want the webhook to fire. In this case, when people engage with your video!
If you want to fire this webhook ONLY when someone engages with a specific dynamic video campaign, then click "Connect Campaign." If you want this webhook to fire for all dynamic videos in the workspace, then do nothing else.
Test your webhook:
To test that this webhook is working, go back to your automated workflow, and click "Wait for Webhook"
