# Trigger Sendspark Videos from SalesLoft and Send Them via Apollo Sequences

> Automate video outreach by triggering Sendspark video creation from SalesLoft and sending personalized emails via Apollo sequences.

This guide sets up an automation where a new user created in SalesLoft automatically generates a personalized Sendspark video and sends it through an Apollo email sequence. The flow: trigger on SalesLoft User Created, create a dynamic video in Sendspark, find the contact in Apollo, then add that contact to an Apollo sequence with the video embedded in the template.

## Key takeaways

* The flow has four steps: SalesLoft **User Created** trigger, Sendspark **Create a Video**, Apollo **Find Contact**, and Apollo **Add Contact to a Sequence**.
* Map **First Name** and **Contact Email** from SalesLoft into the Sendspark action; optionally crop the email at the `@` symbol to extract the domain for a dynamic background URL.
* Apollo's Find Contact step returns the **Contact ID** you need to enroll the person in a sequence, even for newly created contacts.
* Paste the Sendspark snippet into an Apollo **email template** (not directly into the sequence body), then load that template into your sequence.

## ⚡ Overview of the Flow

**Trigger:** New User Created in SalesLoft\
**Action 1:** Create Dynamic Video in Sendspark\
**Action 2:** Find Contact in Apollo\
**Action 3:** Add Contact to Apollo Sequence

***

## 🧩 Step 1: Set Up the Trigger (SalesLoft)

1. Open your automation or agentic workflow platform.
2. Add a **Trigger** step.
3. Search for **SalesLoft**.
4. Select the event **User Created**.

🔎 **Optional:**\
Add filtering conditions if you only want this automation to run for specific users (e.g., based on role, company, or email domain).

***

## 🎬 Step 2: Generate the Video (Sendspark)

1. Add a new **Action**.
2. Search for **Sendspark**.
3. Select **Create a Video**.
4. Choose your connected Sendspark account.
5. Select your **Dynamic Video Campaign** (e.g., “New Combine”).

## 🔗 Map the Fields

* **First Name** → Map from SalesLoft data.
* **Contact Email** → Map from SalesLoft data.

***

## 🌐 Configure Background URL (Optional but Recommended)

If you want the recipient’s website to appear in the dynamic background:

1. Add a **Data Cropping** tool step before the Sendspark action.
2. Select the email address field.
3. Crop by the `@` symbol to extract the domain.

* Example: `dan@sendspark.com` → `sendspark.com`

4. Map this result to the **Background URL** field in Sendspark.

This adds strong personalization to your video.

***

## 🔎 Step 3: Locate the Contact (Apollo)

1. Add a new **Action**.
2. Search for **Apollo**.
3. Select **Find Contact**.

📌 Why this matters:\
You need the **Contact ID** returned by this step to add the person to a sequence in the next action — even if the contact is newly created.

***

## 📩 Step 4: Add Contact to Sequence (Apollo)

1. Add another **Apollo** action.
2. Select **Add Contact to a Sequence**.

## 🔗 Map the Fields

* **Contact ID** → Map from the “Find Contact” step.
* **Sequence ID** →
  * Open your Apollo sequence.
  * Copy the ID from the browser URL.
  * Paste it into this field.
* **Send Email From** → Enter the sender’s email address.

***

## ✍️ 2. Create a Template in Apollo

1. Go to **Apollo → Emails → Templates**.
2. Create a new template (or edit an existing one).
3. Paste the Sendspark snippet code into the body.
4. Save the template.

***

## 🔗 3. Link Template to Sequence

1. Open the Apollo sequence used in Step 4.
2. Load the template you just created.

***

## 🚀 Final Result

* A personalized Sendspark video is automatically generated
