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. Sendspark can post to Slack the moment someone watches your video or clicks a call to action. You build an Agentic Workflow using the trigger Sendspark: New Video Watched - All Campaigns, add a Slack action to send a message to a public channel, connect Slack, then start the automation. Your message can include any fields Sendspark returns for context.

​
Key takeaways

  • Slack view notifications are built with an Agentic Workflow in Sendspark, not a native setting.
  • The trigger is Sendspark: New Video Watched - All Campaigns, which fires when any video in your workspace is watched.
  • The action is Slack → Send a message to a public channel, where you connect Slack and choose the channel.
  • You can personalize the message with the fields Sendspark returns, then click Start to turn the automation on.
