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.
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.

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.
