How this automation works
Translate email-attached videos into dubbed, lip-synced versions. When you send an email with a video attachment to the Email trigger address, the Applet submits the attachment URL to HeyGen to translate and dub the video into the language you choose. This is useful for content creators, educators, and teams who need quick localized videos from Email attachments using HeyGen.

Create your own Email and HeyGen workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
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.
Send IFTTT any email

Find a voice
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a matching HeyGen voice, including its ID, so the "Generate an avatar video" action can use it.
Find an avatar
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.

Generate an avatar video
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will submit a script to be rendered into a talking-avatar video using a chosen avatar and voice; the finished video is delivered by the "A video finished rendering" trigger.
