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"

  • Play a dynamic video in an incognito window to test.

  • You'll know it's working when you see the webhook received!

3. Set Action: Send Slack Notification

  • Add an action to your automated workflow

  • Select "Slack," "Send a message to a public channel" and then connect your slack

  • Select the slack channel you want to send notifications to, and write your message. Click on the webhook to use fields from the webhook. This is what we send:

  • And this is what appears in Slack

Save, and hit "Start" to turn on your automation!
