Recipe: Score and Follow Up Leads by Video Watch Time

If you use a video on a funnel page, such as a sales presentation or webinar replay, watch time shows who is genuinely interested. This recipe turns it into automatic scoring and follow-up.

Setup before the workflows

  • Host the video on a funnel page, and disable its progress bar for accurate tracking.
  • Capture viewer details first with a registration form that redirects to the video page. The viewer must be a contact.

Create four small workflows

Make one workflow per milestone, each with the Video Tracking trigger set to your funnel and video.

  1. 25% watched
    • Trigger: Video Duration (%) = 25.
    • Action: Modify Engagement Score by +10.
    • Action: Add tag "Video 25".
  2. 50% watched
    • Trigger at 50.
    • Action: score +20, add tag "Video 50".
    • Action: send a thank-you email with a related resource.
  3. 75% watched
    • Trigger at 75.
    • Action: score +30, add tag "Video 75".
  4. 100% watched
    • Trigger at 100.
    • Action: send an invitation to book a consultation.
    • Action: create a task for sales and add tag "Video Complete".

Drop-off recovery

Create a fifth workflow from the 25% trigger: Wait a day, then use If/Else to check whether the contact has the "Video Complete" tag. If not, send a friendly "Pick up where you left off" email with the video link.

Use the scores

  • Build a smart list of contacts above a certain engagement score.
  • Prioritize calls to people tagged "Video 75" or higher.
  • Trigger a different offer for people who finished.

Tips

  • Keep point values simple and consistent.
  • Review results after a few weeks and adjust thresholds.

Good to know: Tag every milestone; tags are easier to filter and segment than scores alone.
