Get notified when shared YouTube videos are viewed

Know instantly when someone opens your shared YouTube link with Send. Set up real‑time alerts, capture viewer identity, and log activity into your CRM so follow‑ups are timely, relevant, and data‑driven.

When this is useful

If you share YouTube videos in your sales or fundraising motion, you need signal on who watched and what to do next. Send adds AI, identity capture, and automation so you can prioritize outreach the moment interest spikes. It works for demo videos, customer testimonials, product updates, and investor messages.

  • You send demo or testimonial videos and want alerts on every open and re‑open
  • You want viewer identity (name, email, phone) tied to each view
  • You need automatic CRM logging and notifications to Slack or email
  • You want AI to handle questions so prospects get answers without waiting

Step‑by‑step: set up YouTube view notifications in minutes

This flow keeps steps short and outcome‑focused. You can use either the Chrome extension or the Send app.

  1. Add your YouTube video to Send
  2. Configure link settings and alerts
  3. Route events to Slack, email, and your CRM

Why this is faster with Send

Traditional sharing gives you a view counter at best. With Send, recipients see your video alongside AI Chat and Suggested Questions, so they get answers without booking a call. You get live identity, engagement, and re‑open signal. That means you reach out when interest is high and show up prepared with what they read and asked—shortening cycles and improving call quality.

  • AI Chat answers questions about your video instantly
  • Suggested Questions steer attention to pricing, timeline, and next steps
  • Analytics reveal who viewed, from where, on what device, and for how long
  • Re‑opens and repeated questions become clear follow‑up triggers
