How do I trigger when someone watches my Wistia video?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Wistia Media Watched trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Wistia webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about Media Watched.

How does the Media Watched trigger work in Wistia?
Fires when a viewer watches a Wistia media. Use to score leads on watch percentage, push events to your CRM, or kick off a personalized follow-up sequence.
Is the Media Watched trigger real-time?
Yes. Media Watched uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Wistia.
What data does Media Watched return?
The full event payload from Wistia. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Media Watched so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Wistia admin permissions to use Media Watched?
For most Wistia accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Wistia plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Wistia's docs if the trigger fails to register.
