Email Wistia video engagement on webhook event

Connect

How this automation works

Send an email with current engagement stats for a Wistia video. When your Webhooks event fires, the applet asks Wistia for stats for the Video ID you configure (or include in Value1 of the webhook) and sends the results via Email. Great for marketers and creators who want automatic play-count, unique-viewer, and average-engagement updates. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
