Start music playback with a button tap
How this automation works
Generate a short video with HeyGen from a single Button widget press. When you press the Button widget, this Applet sends a text prompt to HeyGen's Video Agent to script and render the video automatically. Great for quick announcements, reminders, or creative clips when you need a fast HeyGen video without opening other apps. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the widget to your home screen.

Create your own Button widget 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.
8 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.
Button press
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.
This trigger fires every time you press the button.
Video translation finished
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 translation or dubbing job finishes, carrying the translated video so an applet can publish or store it.
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.
This query returns a matching HeyGen avatar, including its ID, so the "Generate an avatar video" action can use it.
Generate a video from a prompt
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 text prompt to HeyGen's Video Agent, which scripts the video and picks the avatar and scene automatically; the finished video is delivered by the "A video finished rendering" trigger.
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.
Translate a 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.
