How this automation works
Generate a short video from any email using HeyGen. When you send an email to the IFTTT Email trigger, this Applet forwards the email subject, body, and the first attachment URL (if present) to HeyGen's Video Agent to script and render the video. Perfect for turning notes, ideas, or attachments into social clips or updates, this Applet integrates Email and HeyGen to automate video creation for marketing or quick content drafts.

10 triggers, queries, and actions
A video finished rendering
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when a video you generated finishes rendering, carrying the finished video so an applet can post, save, or send it.
Send IFTTT an email tagged
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
