# Slack Notifications for Video Views

> Set up real-time Slack notifications when viewers watch your Sendspark videos using automated workflows and trigger settings.

## 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.

## 1. Create Automated Workflow In Sendspark
