Industrial Use Case
Corporate Training Webinars use customizable registration forms to gather specific employee data such as department, role, and attendance status, helping HR teams track engagement and participation.
Benefits of WebinarNinja Registration:
-
Improved Attendee Management: Customize registration fields and track essential attendee data to better manage your webinar audience.
-
Enhanced Flexibility: Options like embedding forms and customizing Thank You Pages provide flexibility to align registration with your brand's style and platform.
How It Works
The default registration page is fully customizable. You can also modify the text on your call-to-action (CTA) button through the webinar settings.
Tip: For a seamless user experience, embed the registration form directly on your website if you prefer not to use the default landing page.
Additionally, registrants can view the webinar date and time and convert it to their local timezone using the "Show in my timezone" link.
Free Webinars
For free webinars, registrants are prompted to provide their name, email address, and any other required details.
- 2-Step Verification Process: Registrants will need to verify their email with a code or one-time password (OTP) sent to their inbox.
Paid Webinars
For paid webinars, registrants will be asked to provide payment details after entering their registration information.
Note: The 2-step verification process is not required for paid webinars.
GDPR Compliance
You can enable Subscriber Consent to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines.
Registrants must agree to the consent statement on the form to receive emails related to the event and any promotional messages.
Example of the consent text: "I consent to receive emails about this event and other promotional emails. I understand I can unsubscribe at any time."
Thank You Page
After completing registration, participants are directed to the Thank You Page, where they can add the event to their calendar.
- Adding to Calendar: Registrants can add the event to various calendars such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook, or iCal via the Add to Calendar button.
Note: For multi-session webinars, only the first session will be added to the calendar. Use the registration confirmation email to manually add other sessions.
-
Registrants also receive a confirmation email with their unique access link and reminder emails as the event approaches.
Custom Thank You Page
If you prefer, you can redirect registrants to a custom Thank You Page of your choice. To set this up:
- Click the options icon next to the webinar.
- Go to Webinar Settings and select Redirect to Custom Thank You Page.
Additional Registration Form Fields
By default, the registration form collects names and email addresses. You can add more fields if you need additional information from registrants.
- Navigate to Registration Form under the webinar options, and follow the instructions to customize it further.
Other Registration Options
Embeddable Registration Form
You can embed the registration form on your website or landing page, allowing participants to sign up without leaving your site.
Note: Paid webinars do not support embedded registration forms.
Manually Adding Registrants
If you have an existing list of contacts, you can manually add them to your webinar. This feature is available on paid plans only.
Important: Ensure you have consent to email any contacts you add manually. Adding people without permission may lead to account termination.
Deregister and Unsubscribe
Host
You can remove unwanted registrants by navigating to the View Statistics section of your webinar.
