What you can automate

What can the SproutVideo Make integration do for you?

The SproutVideo Make integration links your video hosting account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a single brick like a trigger, an action or a search. SproutVideo brings 4 instant triggers, 12 actions and 6 searches, so viewer activity can start work in your other apps.

Turn captured emails into contacts. Watch Email Submissions fires the moment a viewer types an address into your player. Add Get a Video after it and each new lead arrives with the details of the video that convinced them.

Know who reached the end. Watch Video Playback reports progress at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent. A course creator can filter on 100 and send a follow-up only to people who finished the lesson.

Publish without the upload screen. Upload a Video From a URL takes a link to a video file and adds it to your account, then Create a Folder or Create a Tag can keep the library sorted as it grows.

One honest limit: the official documentation for this app is thin, so the page sticks to what each module is named to do. When a listed module falls short, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the SproutVideo API with the same connection. If you are still choosing a platform, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make pricing guide explains how operations are counted. For hands-on learning, see Make training.

Connect

How do you connect SproutVideo to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a SproutVideo module

    In your scenario, click the +, search for SproutVideo and pick any module. The connection you create here is your SproutVideo account linked to Make once, and every other SproutVideo module will reuse it.

  2. 02

    Create the connection

    Click Create a connection. You can give it a name, which helps later if you manage more than one SproutVideo account. Then authorize Make on the SproutVideo page that opens, or paste the key SproutVideo gives you.

  3. 03

    Save and check the fields

    Click Save. Back in the module, Make can now read your account and list what it finds there, so you pick items from a menu instead of typing identifiers by hand.

First scenario

Build your first SproutVideo scenario

GoalWhen a new video link appears in another app, Make uploads that video to your SproutVideo account.

  1. 01

    Create a new scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module on the canvas.

  2. 02

    Pick the app that holds your links

    Choose the trigger of the app where video links land, such as a form tool or a spreadsheet, and connect that account. This module starts the flow and hands each new link to the next one.

  3. 03

    Add Upload a Video From a URL

    Click the + on the right, search SproutVideo and select Upload a Video From a URL. Create the connection, then map the link from the first module into the module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Add a test link in the source app and click Run once. Each module shows the bundles it received, a bundle being one item passed along, here one video link. Open them to confirm the upload.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. From now on, every new link in the source app becomes a video in SproutVideo.

Triggers

What starts a SproutVideo scenario

4 modules start a scenario when something happens in SproutVideo. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by SproutVideo as soon as it happens.

SproutVideo1Watch CTA Clicks

Watch CTA Clicks

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a CTA in your video has been clicked by a viewer.”

Every click on a call to action inside your video becomes a bundle in Make, so a viewer who shows interest can be routed to sales, a CRM or a thank-you email without anyone watching reports.

How it fires
instant, SproutVideo calls Make through a webhook as soon as the click happens, no schedule needed.
When to use it
when your product demo ends with a button like book a call and you want the sales team alerted while the prospect is still on the page.
Watch out
the documentation does not list what data comes with each click, so run the scenario once and read the bundle before mapping anything.
SproutVideo2Watch Email Submissions

Watch Email Submissions

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when an email address has been collected from a viewer.”

You get each email address a viewer leaves through your player, delivered to Make as soon as it is submitted, which turns a video into a lead magnet that feeds your mailing list or CRM directly.

How it fires
instant, SproutVideo notifies Make through a webhook the moment the address is collected.
When to use it
when a webinar replay asks for an email before or during viewing and you want those people in a nurture sequence right away.
Watch out
a viewer may submit the same address twice, so add a search in your CRM before creating a contact.
SproutVideo3Watch Video Playback

Watch Video Playback

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a video has been played (at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%).”

This trigger tells you how far a viewer got: SproutVideo reports playback at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent, which is enough to separate curious clicks from people who watched to the end.

How it fires
instant, the app calls Make by webhook each time one of those milestones is reached.
When to use it
for training videos, where finishing the lesson should unlock the next one or mark the learner as done.
Watch out
a single viewing can send several events, and each run costs operations, so add a filter right after the trigger to keep only the milestone you care about.
SproutVideo4Watch Video Upload

Watch Video Upload

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new video has been deployed within your account.”

As soon as a new video is deployed in your account, Make receives it, which lets you announce, catalog or share fresh content without copying links by hand after every upload.

How it fires
instant, SproutVideo pings Make through a webhook when the video goes live in your account.
When to use it
when a marketing team wants a Slack message or a row in a content calendar for every new video the editors publish.
Watch out
if the same scenario also uploads videos, this trigger will fire on its own uploads and can loop, so keep uploading and watching in separate scenarios.
Modules

Everything SproutVideo can do in Make

SproutVideo gives you 18 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

SproutVideo1

Create a Folder

Action

In Make“Create a new folder in your SproutVideo account.”

A new folder appears in your SproutVideo library, ready to receive videos, so each client, course or campaign gets its own space the moment the project starts.

When to use it
right after a deal is signed in your CRM, to prepare the folder before the first video arrives.
Watch out
run List Folders first if the scenario might run twice, or you will end up with duplicates.
SproutVideo2

Create a Login

Action

In Make“Create a new login in your SproutVideo account.”

This module adds a new login to your SproutVideo account from inside a scenario, which saves you from creating each one by hand in the dashboard when new people join.

When to use it
when a sign-up or a purchase in another app should produce a SproutVideo login for that person.
Watch out
the documentation does not describe the fields, so open the module after connecting to see what it asks for.
SproutVideo3

Create an Access Grant

Action

In Make“Create a new access grant in your SproutVideo account.”

You get a new access grant in your account without opening SproutVideo, handy when access has to follow an event in another tool rather than a manual step on your side.

When to use it
after Create a Login, in the same scenario, when a new member needs access set up in one go.
Watch out
map the identifiers from the previous module instead of typing them, so each grant points at the right record.
SproutVideo4

Create a Tag

Action

In Make“Create a new tag in your SproutVideo account.”

A new tag is added to your SproutVideo account, which keeps your labeling vocabulary in sync with categories defined elsewhere, such as product lines or course modules.

When to use it
when a new category is created in your catalog or spreadsheet and videos will soon need that label.
Watch out
check with List Tags before creating one, because the documentation does not say whether a duplicate name is refused.
SproutVideo5

Get a Folder

Action

In Make“Get a specific folder from your SproutVideo account.”

Fetch one folder you already know, and the next modules can use its details, for example its name in a message or a report, without searching the whole library.

When to use it
when you stored a folder identifier earlier, in a spreadsheet row or a CRM field, and need that folder again.
Watch out
this module needs the exact folder; when you only know a name, List Folders is the better choice.
SproutVideo6

Get a Login

Action

In Make“Get a specific login from your SproutVideo account.”

You read the record of a single login, which is useful to confirm it exists or to reuse its details later in the scenario before granting or changing anything.

When to use it
when a support request mentions a login you saved earlier and the scenario must look it up before replying.
Watch out
it returns one record only; to browse or match several logins, reach for List Logins instead.
SproutVideo7

Get an Access Grant

Action

In Make“Get a specific access grant from your SproutVideo account.”

Pull the details of one access grant into your scenario, so you can check what it covers before a follow-up step such as a reminder or an audit row in a sheet.

When to use it
when you kept the grant identifier from Create an Access Grant and want to verify it later in another scenario.
Watch out
without the identifier this module cannot help, so store it in your source app when the grant is created.
SproutVideo8

Get a Tag

Action

In Make“Get a specific tag from your SproutVideo account.”

Read one tag from your account to reuse its details downstream, for instance to write its name into a report or to confirm the label is still there before tagging work continues.

When to use it
when a scenario receives a tag identifier from an earlier step and needs the full record behind it.
Watch out
to find a tag by name rather than by identifier, List Tags does that job.
SproutVideo9

Get a Video

Action

In Make“Get a specific video from your SproutVideo account.”

This module enriches any event with the video behind it: give it one video and the following modules receive its details, ready to drop into an email or a CRM note.

When to use it
right after Watch Email Submissions or Watch CTA Clicks, so the lead record says which video triggered the action.
Watch out
map the video identifier from the trigger bundle; run the scenario once to see where it sits.
SproutVideo10

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

With this module you can reach any endpoint of the SproutVideo API while reusing the connection you already created, which covers every task the listed modules do not.

When to use it
when you need an operation none of the other modules offers, such as updating a record they only let you read.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the SproutVideo API reference open while you build it.
SproutVideo11

Upload a Video From a File

Action

In Make“Uploads a video to your SproutVideo account.”

Send a video file that an earlier module handed over, from cloud storage or an email attachment for example, straight into your SproutVideo account without downloading it to your computer first.

When to use it
when editors drop finished exports in a shared folder and you want them hosted without a manual upload.
Watch out
on the Free plan Make handles files up to 5 MB, so larger videos need a paid plan or the URL module.
SproutVideo12

Upload a Video From a URL

Action

In Make“Uploads a video to your SproutVideo account using a URL to a video file.”

Hand SproutVideo a link to a video file and it lands in your account, which is the simplest path when your videos already live somewhere reachable online.

When to use it
when a form, a spreadsheet or a production tool gives you a direct link to each new video file.
Watch out
the link must point to the file itself, not to a page that plays it, or the upload has nothing to fetch.
SproutVideo13

List Access Grants

Search

In Make“List the access grants in your SproutVideo account.”

This search returns the access grants in your account, zero, one or many, each as its own bundle, so the next modules can review or report on them one by one.

When to use it
when you want an audit sheet of who has been granted access, rebuilt after each change in your member base.
Watch out
every bundle runs the following modules once, so a long list can burn through operations quickly.
SproutVideo14

List Engagement Sessions

Search

In Make“List the engagement sessions from your SproutVideo account.”

Engagement sessions come back as a list, a view on how people actually watched, which you can push into a spreadsheet or a dashboard to study viewing beyond the SproutVideo interface.

When to use it
when marketing wants raw viewing data next to campaign results in the tool they already use for reporting.
Watch out
the documentation does not describe the data returned, so inspect one run before building your report.
SproutVideo15

List Folders

Search

In Make“List the folders in your SproutVideo account.”

You get every folder in your library as separate bundles, which lets a scenario find the right one by name or check that a folder exists before creating another.

When to use it
before Create a Folder, paired with a filter, so a client never ends up with two folders under the same name.
Watch out
an empty result stops the modules that follow, so decide what the scenario should do in that case.
SproutVideo16

List Logins

Search

In Make“List the logins in your SproutVideo account.”

This search brings back the logins of your account, one bundle each, to match them against members in another app or spot the ones that should no longer exist.

When to use it
when an offboarding in your HR or membership tool should trigger a cleanup check on the SproutVideo side.
Watch out
compare on a stable value you map from the results, never on a name typed by hand.
SproutVideo17

List Tags

Search

In Make“List the tags in your SproutVideo account.”

Returns the tags you already use, one bundle per tag, handy to keep a spreadsheet of labels in sync or to avoid creating a tag that is already there.

When to use it
just before Create a Tag, with a filter on the name, when new categories arrive from another system.
Watch out
to act on the whole list at once, add an aggregator after it, otherwise each tag runs the rest separately.
SproutVideo18

List Videos

Search

In Make“List the videos in your SproutVideo account.”

Your video library comes out as a list, one bundle per video, ready to be written into a catalog, a website table or a content inventory without manual exports.

When to use it
when you rebuild a content inventory after a batch of uploads and want every video counted.
Watch out
each video is one bundle that runs the next modules, so filter early if you only need some of them.

FAQ

SproutVideo and Make: common questions

01Is the SproutVideo Make integration free?
Yes, SproutVideo is a standard app in Make, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, runs of up to 5 minutes, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Instant triggers such as Watch Email Submissions do not wait for that interval. Paid plans lower the minimum interval to 1 minute and remove the limit on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run on one bundle.
02What do you need to connect SproutVideo to Make?
You need a SproutVideo account and a Make account. The Make documentation lists no special prerequisite for this app. Add any SproutVideo module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the SproutVideo page or paste the key SproutVideo gives you, and click Save. The same connection then serves all 22 modules, so you only do this once per account. If authorization fails, simply check that you are signed in to the right SproutVideo account.
03Do SproutVideo triggers in Make react instantly?
Yes. All 4 SproutVideo triggers are instant: SproutVideo calls Make through a webhook as soon as a CTA is clicked, an email is submitted, a playback milestone is reached or a new video is deployed. Make does not poll on a schedule for these. The schedule of 15 minutes by default only matters when your scenario starts with a scheduled module from another app, for example a spreadsheet feeding Upload a Video From a URL.
04What if a SproutVideo module is missing in Make?
It depends on the task. The 22 modules cover folders, tags, logins, access grants, videos and engagement sessions, but none of them updates or deletes a record. For anything else, the Make an API Call module reaches any endpoint of the SproutVideo API with your existing connection. Keep in mind that the official Make documentation for this app is limited, so test each call with Run once before switching the scenario on.
05Should you use Make or n8n for SproutVideo?
It depends on your criteria rather than on the app. Make offers SproutVideo as a native app with 22 ready modules, including 4 instant triggers, and Make an API Call for the rest. n8n often has a node for the same app, so check its catalog for SproutVideo before deciding. Compare both on what your scenario needs: the exact modules, how triggers fire and how usage is counted on your plan.
