Key takeaways
- Two approaches: keep automation in HubSpot (Workflows) or move it to Sendspark (Agentic Workflows) — choose where you want the logic to live.
- HubSpot method: enrollment trigger Segment Membership → Sendspark action Create a dynamic video (both mandatory checkboxes required) → Send Email with the video embedded.
- Video generation needs the Dynamic Campaign ID plus API credentials (Workspace ID, API Key, Secret Key), and you must map First Name (not Full Name) to Contact Name.
- Embed the video by copying the HubSpot Marketing Hub HTML from Share Campaign into an HTML block in an Automated (not Regular) marketing email.
