With Sendspark, you can stay on top of video engagement by receiving notifications when someone watches your content. Here’s how you can track views and what type of information you’ll get.

It's important to mention that if you want to see exact engagement details — such as the percentage of the video watched, total view time, play rate, and click-throughs — you’ll need to open your Dynamic Video Campaign dashboard.

👉 This is the only place where you can see how much of the video was watched:


Email Notifications

By default, you’ll receive an email notification when the first lead clicks and watches your video. No setup required.


Slack Notifications

If you want real-time team alerts, you can connect Sendspark with Slack:

  1. Go to Agentic Workflows

  2. Click New Automation

  3. Add the trigger: Sendspark: New Video Watched – All Campaigns

  4. Add the action: Slack → Send a message to a public channel

  5. Connect your Slack account and pick the channel where you want updates

Now your team will see view notifications instantly in Slack.


Webhooks and Automation Notifications

If you want to send notifications into another system (CRM, custom app, etc.), you can use webhooks with the New Video Watched trigger.

Important: Webhooks only send two types of events:

  • Video Played → someone clicked play (even if they only watched a few seconds).

  • Video Watched 100%→ someone watched the video all the way through.

That means if you rely on webhook notifications, you’ll only know if a video was started or fully completed. For detailed watch percentages, you’ll still need to check the campaign analytics.


Summary

  • Email & Slack → quick notifications when someone watches.

  • Dashboard analytics → see exact percentage watched and other engagement stats.

  • Webhooks → great for automation, but limited to “played” or “fully played” events.
