How this automation works

Create Wistia videos automatically from incoming Webhooks events. When Maker Webhooks receives a web request, this Applet looks for a public file URL in the event's JSON payload and imports that file into Wistia as a new video. Useful for content teams and developers who want to automate uploads from services that can send file URLs to Webhooks and store them in Wistia.
