Setup Wizard – WebinarJam and EverWebinar User Documentation

Customize pages

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Each new webinar configuration includes three pages that can be customized: Registration, sign-up confirmation, and an event countdown page.

Prospects go to the registration page to sign up for the webinar and are redirected to the confirmation page after submitting their information. The countdown page is the temporary destination of the live event link, which attendees will see if they visit the link before the event begins.

Templates for each page type and a basic page editor are provided inside the webinar configuration wizard.

Survey your registrants

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Configure a survey for your webinar’s registration thank you page to get information and feedback from your audience before the event. For example, you can use the survey to ask your registrants about the topics they’re most interested in and script your webinar content around those topics.

Important: Surveys are available with the Default confirmation page configured at the Thank You step of the webinar wizard. If you are using a custom confirmation page, post-registration surveys are not available.

Go to the Thank You step in the webinar configuration wizard.
Open the Default vs Custom confirmation page module, select Default confirmation page, and Save.
Open the Survey your registrants module that appears.
Choose Yes, survey my registrants and configure the survey. Choose a mix of four question types:
- Poll allowing only one answer: Requires a single response
- Poll allowing multiple answers: Allows multiple response selections
- Question for a short answer: Single-line text response
- Question for a long answer: Multi-line text response
Save the survey module and continue.

Registrants will see a floating survey bar on the default confirmation page after registering. A button opens the survey in a pop-up window.

Add a custom message and styling to the survey bar by customizing the Thank you page design.

The following image shows an example of each survey question type.

Auto-subscription to future webinars

This article is for WebinarJam only.

Enable Auto-subscription

Auto-subscription to future webinars lets attendees register once to automatically be subscribed to all future WebinarJam events configured in your account.

Important: Subscription to new webinars requires manual action from a webinar manager when each new event is configured. While subscription will be “automatic” for the user, you control whether to complete the action in each new webinar.

To enable auto-subscription:

Go to the Registration step of the webinar configuration wizard
Open the Auto-subscription to future webinars module
Click Enable auto-subscription and Save the module

If enabled, the webinar registration form will display an extra check box labeled Auto-subscribe to future webinars from this host. The registrant must check the box to accept auto-subscription. This option cannot be turned on by default.

Register Auto-subscribed Users

Each time you create a new webinar, manually add auto-subscribed registrants from previous webinars to the new session.

In Webinars, find the new event
Click Your Links > Attendees
Select a session from the drop-down under Auto-subscribe registrants from previous webinars
- A bubble appears with the total number of auto-subscribed users registered in your account
Click Subscribe to register all saved users for the selected session
- The auto-subscription down-down and button disappear when the action is complete

Auto-subscribed registrants will receive the confirmation email with the details for your upcoming webinar: the webinar topic, scheduled date and time, their unique link to the live session, etc.

Customize the confirmation email at the Notifications step of your new webinar configuration.

Important: Auto-subscription must be enabled at the Registration step of the new webinar’s configuration or the auto-subscription option will not appear in Your Links.

Opt Out of Auto-subscription

A mandatory unsubscribe link appears in the footer of every email notification sent by your account. Registrants can click the link to opt out of future notifications for each webinar they are subscribed to.

Scheduling WebinarJam

This article is for WebinarJam only.

Create the Session Schedule

Caution: Do NOT edit a webinar schedule after attendees have already registered for the event. Editing the schedule resets the unique access link for each registrant, so the link sent in their original confirmation email will not work.

Changing the session type (from single to multiple, etc.) deletes the original session in the database. Files and analytics associated with the original session will also be deleted. Instead of changing the session type for an existing webinar, create a new webinar configuration for the new schedule structure.

Go to the Schedules step of the webinar configuration wizard and open Webinar schedule.

Choose a schedule type for the webinar:

One single session
Multiple sessions
A recurring series of presentations

Single Session

Use the single session option when you have one presentation that you want to broadcast once or repeat at different times. With this schedule, attendees will choose the date and time they want from the schedule you create.

Example: An free introductory class designed to be seen once.

Multiple Sessions

Use multiple sessions when you are offering a series of presentations that are all different but related to each other. Attendees register once to attend multiple sessions at the dates and times you create.

Example: A paid workshop consisting of five lessons on a specific topic.

Recurring Series of Sessions

Attendees who register for a recurring series sign up for a daily or weekly series, for as long as it lasts.

To create a recurring series:

Select Daily or a day of the week as the type of recurrance
Select Unlimited or Limited to define the duration of the series
- If limited, enter the number of sessions
Add additional series to the same webinar configuration if desired
- Example: One series runs every Monday, and a second series runs every Wednesday.
Click Add to create each series

Allow Time Zone Conversion

Toggle time zone conversion on or off to show your webinar session times in a viewer’s local time-zone on the registration page and in email notifications. Time zone conversion is ON by default. Switch it off if you prefer to display a specific time-zone for the webinar.

Scheduling EverWebinar

This article is for EverWebinar only.

Create the Automated Broadcast Schedule

Important: Do NOT edit a webinar schedule after attendees have already registered for the event. Editing the schedule resets the unique access link for each registrant, so the link sent in their original confirmation email will not work.

Enabling Just-in-Time or Instant Replay creates on-demand schedules for your webinar.

Disabling either option deletes the on-demand schedule and all related files and analytics. If an attendee has already viewed the webinar through an on-demand option, all records for those sessions will be lost. Instead of disabling Just-in-Time or Instant Replay for an existing webinar, create a new webinar configuration and switch registration promotions to the new event that does not have on-demand access.

Go to the Schedules step of the webinar configuration webinar.

Create one or more schedules for the webinar:

Set the date and time of the broadcast. Choose:
- On a specific date and time
- Every day or every week at a specific time
Click Add to create the series. Add additional schedules if desired.

Fixed time zone

Select a time zone and location from the drop-down field to create the schedule in a fixed time zone. If enabled, registrants can convert the schedule availability to their own time zone on the registration page.

Note: Multiple time zone locations may appear on the registration page when a fixed time zone is selected. This is because the schedule displays all locations that fall in the same GMT+ zone as your selection. For example, The GMT/UTC+3 hours offset is shared by countries on three continents: Europe, Africa, and Asia.

User’s own time zone

Select The user’s own time zone for the schedule to enable time zone auto-detection. In this mode, scheduling and registration information is shown in a potential registrant’s local time zone so they can easily choose the best time.

Note: The time zone selection you make for the first series in a webinar schedule locks all additional series to the same choice. In other words, if the first series is set to the user’s time zone, all additional series in the same webinar will also be displayed in the user’s time zone.

Registration Page Options

Allow time zone conversion

Visible only if a fixed time zone is selected for the webinar schedule. Enabling time zone conversion lets registrants see the time of your event in their local time zone for a more user-friendly experience.

Instant watch replay

Enable this option to display a, “Watch the replay now!” link on the registration page in addition to the other schedule options. Clicking this link takes the attendee to watch the replay immediately.

Important: Enable the replay session at the Replay step of the configuration wizard to enable access to a replay broadcast.

Allow late attendance

Enable this option to allow visitors to join a webinar that is already “in progress.” When attendees enter the “live” room, the webinar will auto-forward to the correct time stamp.

Example: The automated broadcast is configured to begin at 10 am. Allowing late attendance lets a user enter the session at 10:10 am and the broadcast will skip forward 10 minutes to simulate joining a live webinar.

Just-in-Time

Just-in-Time is on-demand scheduling that shows potential registrants a session “starting very soon,” regardless of when they visit the page. Display sessions at 15, 30, and 60-minute intervals:

Every :15, :30, :45 or :00 (15 minutes)
Every :30 or :00 (half hour)
Every :00 (hour)

Hide night time schedules

For Just-in-Time registration, choose Hide night time schedules to create the appearance of a regular working schedule. If someone visits your registration page at 2 am (and you have blocked schedules from 11 pm-7 am) the next available session will be the following day.

Displayed schedules

Define the schedules displayed on your registration page under Displayed Schedules. From the drop-down menu, choose how many available schedules to display to visitors at one time.

Important: If Just-in-Time / Yesterday’s Replay is selected for the displayed schedule and neither option is enabled in the webinar configuration, the webinar will not show any available registration times.

Block short-term registrations

Prevent attendees from registering last minute, up to 6 days in advance.

Block dates

Add holidays or any other days you want to exclude from the webinar broadcast schedule. Viewers will not be able to register for these dates.

Charge a fee for registration

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Important: A third-party payment checkout is needed to collect payments from registrants. The paid registration function of your webinar configuration redirects registrants to the third-party checkout to complete their payment. WebinarJam and EverWebinar do not process payments.

Enable Paid Registration

In your webinar configuration, go to the Registration step:

Open the Free registration vs Paid registration module
Click Charge a registration fee

Enter the amount of the fee (for analytics tracking) and the URL of a third-party checkout page where the customer can complete a payment.
Copy the Post-Payment Redirect URL and set it as the payment success or “thank you” page in your third-party checkout configuration. With the post-payment URL in place, your third-party payment processor will redirect customers to the post-payment registration page to complete their registration for the webinar.
- A “register” button appears on the post-payment registration page. The registrant must click the button and submit the registration form that pops up to complete their sign-up.

Troubleshooting and Tips

Incomplete Registration

If you receive payment for a webinar but no new registrant, the customer did not complete their registration. To resolve this, copy and send the Post-Payment Redirect URL to the customer. This will take them straight to the registration page without having to complete the checkout again.

Skip the Registration Payment

To allow free registration to one specific user, copy and share the Post-Payment Redirect URL with the user. Anyone with this URL will go straight to the registration page without completing a payment, so share it carefully.

Charging with PayPal

Learn more about Charging for registration with PayPal

Charging for registration with PayPal

Before we begin, ensure that you have a business account with PayPal and not a personal account. This process will not work with personal PayPal accounts.

Under “Products & Services,” select Website Payments and click to Update PayPal buttons.

Because a webinar is a one-time sale, select the Buy Now button.

In Step 1, add the basic information for your webinar name under Item Name and registration ticket price under Price.

Leave the rest of the fields blank and go to Step 3.

In Step 3, you will need two links from your WebinarJam or EverWebinar account:

Registration Page URL (marked 3 below)
Post-Payment URL (marked 4 below)

Add a message to the customer if desired (marked 1 above) and disable the request for a shipping address (marked 2 above) unless registration for the webinar includes a hard copy of course materials that you need to ship.

Finally, click Create Button , and you’re ready for the final step. Click the email tab (shown below) and copy the URL in the box.

In your webinar configuration, go to Registration > Free registration vs Paid registration. Paste the PayPal button URL in the settings field labeled, “Your payment checkout.”

Introduction to live injections

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Live: Slide Presentations

This article is for WebinarJam only.

Add a slide presentation to your webinar during the configuration process. During the live broadcast, the presentation is available in the live room menu to broadcast to your attendees with the click of a button.

Upload a slide presentation

Upload a presentation from your local computer:

In the webinar setup, go to Live > Slide presentations
Click Add new presentation
Enter a display name for the file
Click Upload the file to locate and add the presentation file
- Accepted file formats: Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), Apple KeyNote (KEY), and PDF.

Important: Google Slide links or other cloud-based presentations cannot be added.

Uploading and encoding for your presentation can take up to 5 minutes to complete.

Benefits of uploading a presentation

You can use the screen share function to present the slides from your local the computer. However, uploading the presentation to the WebinarJam cloud server is recommended for two reasons:

Pre-loaded presentations are delivered by the WebinarJam servers instead of your local internet service. As a result, the image quality on pre-loaded slides is generally better, resulting in a smoother experience for your attendees.
Presentations uploaded to the live room can be shown using custom animations and transitions.

Optimize presentation files

Smaller files load faster and more reliably for attendees so everyone can see your content smoothly, regardless of their internet connection speed.

The maximum file size for an uploaded presentation is 80MB. If your file is over 80MB, the resolution of the images inside the slides may be too high, or there may be media injections (such as video) that should be removed.

Optimization and troubleshooting tips:

Always save images and slides at a maximum resolution of 720p to optimize them for live-streaming
Split the presentation in two if it’s too large to upload
If you have trouble uploading a PowerPoint or Keynote file:
- Look for video or audio media in the presentation that can be removed
- Export the presentation to a PDF with each slide on a separate page. Optimize the PDF to create a smaller file.

Live: Video Injections

This article is for WebinarJam.

Add video injections into a webinar to cut seamlessly from the presenters speaking to pre-recorded video playback. This is useful for inserting short video clips or to create a “hybrid” webinar experience.

Go to the Live step of the webinar configuration:

Open Video injections and click Add new video
Add a name for your reference (you will see this in the live room)
Add the video source URL
Save the video injection window and click Confirm to continue the webinar setup

Pro Tips

AI Agenda Planner will generate an agenda in the language selected under Configuration > Basic settings in the setup wizard.
Check the time estimates in the agenda and adjust them as needed to make sure they match the amount of time you want to spend on each section and overall.
Your agenda will appear in the Live Room and in the Control Panel of your webinar and is visible to all presenters and moderators.
Add notes or edit the agenda during the event to adjust your plan.
If you don’t want to use the AI Agenda Planner, you can manually add an agenda or outline instead. Copy and paste the contents of your agenda into the text field in the Agenda module and save to add it to your webinar resources.

AI Best Practices

To get the best results out of any AI tool, keep a few things in mind:

Be specific about the topic you want the AI to address. This keeps the topic focused and helps prevent vague results. Instead of a generic prompt like, “Talk about personal coaching,” be specific. For example, “Explain three ways that personal coaching benefits small business owners” or “Provide tips for optimizing paid ad campaigns.”
Avoid entering private or personal details into an AI tool that you wouldn’t post publicly online. All AI engines “learn” from the queries they receive, which means that your entries may be stored by the tool.
AI content can be wrong. Always review and fact-check the content generated by an AI tool, especially when the facts are critical to your presentation or field of knowledge.

Webinar notifications

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Webinar notification emails are sent automatically to the people who register for your events. Add up to 10 notifications before and 10 notifications after the webinar.

Pre-webinar notifications:

Signup Confirmation Message: Sent when a person registers. ON by default.
Pre-webinar reminders: Sent before the webinar (configure timing in the settings).
Last-minute reminder: Sent 15 minutes before the webinar. ON by default.

Post-webinar notifications:

Post-webinar follow-ups: Turn on to automatically send a replay to all registrants after the event. Configure recipient conditions and timing in the settings.

Add or Edit Notifications

Open a webinar and go to Notifications > Reminder notifications
To edit an existing email: Click the pencil icon on any email module to edit it
- Click the envelope icon to send yourself a test copy of the email
- Click the X to delete the email (Warning: This cannot be reversed)
To add a new email: Click Add email to add a pre-webinar reminder or post-webinar follow-up email
- Use the post-reminder follow-up to automatically send registrants a replay of the webinar
Customize the email in the pop-up editor window
Save the email editor and complete the Notification step of the wizard

Customize Notifications

Pre-webinar notifications are sent to ALL registrants.
Post-webinar notifications can be segmented to send to all or some registrants based on behavior conditions.

Shortcodes

Add unique information about your webinar to the email using shortcodes. These dynamic content codes are contained in {curly_brackets}.

Shortcodes are automatically replaced with the code’s corresponding value when the email is sent. For example, {first_name} might become John in the recipient’s inbox.

Notification shortcodes:

{TITLE} – Title of your webinar
{DESCRIPTION} – Description of your webinar
{PRESENTER} – List of the host and presenters for the webinar
{FIRST_NAME} – Email recipient’s first name
{LAST_NAME} – Email recipient’s last name
{ATTENDEE_EMAIL} – Email recipient’s email address
{DATE} – Date of the upcoming webinar
{TIME} – Broadcast time of the upcoming session
{LIVE_LINK} – Unique live room URL for the registrant to attend the webinar
{PASSWORD} – Password to enter the room (if password protection is enabled in the webinar settings)

Important: Shortcodes are a type of web code. They must be used exactly as provided in the interface, or the system cannot read them and display the correct information.

Adding a Link

To create a link with the {LIVE_LINK} shortcode:

Highlight the text you want to turn into a link
Click the hyperlink icon in the editor menu
In the window that pops up, you will find the text you highlighted
- Choose the protocol <other>
- Enter the shortcode {LIVE_LINK} in the URL field
Click OK to save the link

Pre-webinar reminder timing

Define the timing for a pre-webinar reminder in the email editor. The send time is relative to the scheduled start time of the webinar (set in the Schedules step of the webinar wizard).

NOTE: If someone registers for your webinar after a notification is scheduled to be sent, the new registrant will not receive that email. For example, if an email is configured to be sent 24 hours before the webinar and someone registers 3 hours before, they will not receive that email.

Post-webinar follow-ups

Important:

Always add at least one post-webinar follow-up for each webinar if you want to automatically send a replay after the event.
Post-webinar follow-up send time is relative to the scheduled start time of the webinar, NOT the time the webinar ends.

Use a recipient filter in post-webinar follow-ups to send messages at a particular time based on each attendee’s behavior.

Send to:

All registrants
Those who did or did not attend
Those who attended and did or did not order your product
Those who attended but left before a particular time
Those who attended, stayed to a particular time, and did not purchase

Important: If you choose to send only to those who did or did not purchase your product, the sales goal tracking code must be embedded in the sales funnel. Without the tracking code, WebinarJam cannot determine who purchased a product.

Test Email

At the bottom of the email editor window, send yourself a test email to ensure the formatting and message look good in your email inbox. Test emails can only be sent to the account email address.

Note: Shortcodes do not work in test emails because there needs to be registrant data for a given shortcode to use, and a test only collects the email address. If you send yourself a test email, the shortcodes will not be replaced.

To test the shortcodes, register for your webinar as an attendee to view live versions of the email notifications. Register through the “Run a test” registration page link to keep your live event analytics clean.

YouTube Live

This article is for WebinarJam only.

Choose YouTube Live as the streaming service for a live webinar to broadcast directly to a YouTube channel.

Important Notes:

You must apply for live streaming in YouTube and wait 24 hours for the application to be approved before you can connect YouTube as an integrated streaming service in your webinar settings. If you are not approved for live streaming, the connection in WebinarJam will fail.
Webinars set to stream through YouTube Live are automatically posted in the connected YouTube channel. To restrict viewing permissions to only subscribers and those with a direct link, follow the instructions in this article to post live uploads as “Unlisted.”
Elements configured at the Live step of the webinar wizard are exclusive to the WebinarJam live room. Attendees who watch the webinar from your YouTube channel will not see any deployed polls, offers, etc.

Configure YouTube Settings

Login to the YouTube account where you want to run your live stream. Double-check to make sure you are not logged into any other Google services that could confuse the setup.

Set channel features

Go to YouTube > Settings
Click Channel and Feature eligibility
Enable Standard features and Intermediate features

Set upload defaults

Live webinars broadcasted using YouTube Live are automatically published to your YouTube channel. As soon as the event begins, it is listed in your YouTube channel and can be watched live. When it ends, the video is saved as recorded content in the channel.

Change the default upload visibility to restrict the availability of live streams:

In Settings, go to Upload defaults
Select Unlisted in the Visibility drop-down to prevent all video uploads (recorded and live) from being listed in YouTube search or suggested content.
- This setting impacts the default only. Visibility can be customized for each individual upload as well, letting you post public and restricted content.

Request live streaming access

Go to YouTube
From the top right, click Create and then Go live
If you haven’t already, follow the steps to verify your channel
- Starting your first live stream may take up to 24 hours

Learn more about getting started with live streaming.

Connect WebinarJam to YouTube

Important: Your YouTube channel must be approved for live streaming before continuing.

In your WebinarJam account, open a webinar for editing:

In the Configuration step of a webinar setup, open the Streaming service module
Choose YouTube Live and click Connect YouTube
Login to Google from the pop-up window
- If your browser is already logged in to an account, you will immediately see an access authorization from WebinarJam Live.
When authorization is complete, a YouTube connected message appears with the connected account address below
- Click Reset to remove the connection if needed.

Test the Webinar

Clone the webinar to test the YouTube Live streaming service
Launch the WebinarJam live room as the webinar host presenter
Go Live to start the broadcast
In another browser, enter the room as an attendee
- If you see the broadcast video from both user views, the configuration is correct

Note: The YouTube logo will display in the lower right corner of the webinar broadcast video. This cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner

If the live room shows the error, “Watch this video on YouTube. Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner,” your YouTube account is not properly configured.

Change channels

Confirm that you are using the same channel as you have your webinar content on. You may need to associate this channel with your main Google account.

Contact YouTube Support

If you perform all of the above steps and are still getting the video embed error, please contact the YouTube support team for more help.

YouTube misconfiguration

If you see the error, “YouTube misconfiguration” while accessing your WebinarJam live room, something in the YouTube connection is not correct.

Check your connection

Open the webinar wizard and go to the Streaming service setting. Make sure you are logged into the same YouTube account that is displayed on the Connect YouTube screen. Your account email will appear in small writing below the YouTube icon.

Check your settings

Review this article to ensure that the YouTube account settings are correct. After making any necessary updates, go back to your webinar presenter’s link and try to launch the live room again.

EverWebinar Chat CSV formatting

This article is for EverWebinar.

Upload a CSV file to quickly add many lines of chat messages to an EverWebinar event.

In the webinar configuration wizard:

Go to the Live step
Open the Live chat box module and click Enable live chat
Configure the chat options to create the ideal attendee experience
At the bottom of the module, click Import from CSV to upload a file with multiple chat lines
- Alternatively, enter chat lines one at a time using the fields in the setup wizard

Pro tip: Download the chat file from a WebinarJam live event and upload it. The WebinarJam CSV is correctly formatted for import into EverWebinar.

CSV Formatting

Resource: Download a CSV Chat Template

CSV file must contain only 7 columns containing chat message values. Each row in the CSV file represents a new chat message.

Hour: Number between 00 and 07
Minute: Number between 00 and 59
Second: Number between 00 and 59
Name: Name of the person
Role: Admin or Attendee
Message: The actual chat comment
Mode:
- If role is Attendee: Chat, Question, or Answer
- If role is Admin: Chat, Question, Answer, Highlighted, or Tip

Example of the correct format:

When the spreadsheet is complete, export or save it as a CSV file with UTF-8 encoding before uploading to EverWebinar.

Maximum Chat Lines

The maximum number of pre-loaded chat lines is 5,000, or 1 MB for a CSV file upload. This limit ensures a good experience for attendees by preventing high demands on the webinar room to load the chat.

In a custom chat file, do not exceed 5,000 lines or 1 MB in file size.

If WebinarJam live is used as the source file for the EverWebinar, the system will not auto-import a chat file that exceeds 5,000 lines. You will see an error message informing you that the chat was not imported.

To resolve this and get a usable chat file:

Go back to WebinarJam and download the chat history for the live webinar you imported.
Open the downloaded CSV file and manually delete chat lines until there are less than 5,000 lines. Save the file and confirm that it’s under 1 MB (delete more lines if needed).
Go back to EverWebinar and the Live step of the wizard. Upload the new CSV file as described in this article.

Pro tip: If you activate the “Save real comments” option, real chat lines will be added to the EverWebinar session until it reaches the limit of 5,000 lines of chat. Any additional lines will be ignored.

Presenter and moderator roles

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Each webinar has one host presenter and the option to add two additional user types:

Presenter (co-host on camera in WebinarJam, and control panel access in EverWebinar)
Moderator (behind the scenes Control Panel management)

Add presenters and moderators at the Configuration > Webinar presenters step of the webinar setup. Click the toggle between Moderator and Presenter to change the role when adding a new user.

Check your plan:

Control Panel and moderators are available for EverWebinar and for WebinarJam Enterprise.
The number of presenters available depends on your WebinarJam plan.

Presenters

Mailing through your autoresponder

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Send webinar notifications and reminders with an integrated autoresponder platform for additional control over email branding, styling, and scheduling. This is an alternative to using the built-in WebinarJam email builder.

Required: Connect a third-party Autoresponder
Note: Due to limitations in their APIs, Maropost and Constant Contact do not support this feature.

Create Custom Fields

In the webinar configuration, you will need to match values from the webinar with custom fields in your autoresponder. This step is required so your autoresponder can include custom information in the emails sent for your event.

In your autoresponder, create six custom contact fields:

Live_Room_Link
Replay_Room_Link
Webinar_Date
Webinar_Time
User_Timezone (Required if registered time shows in User’s own time zone)
Room_Password (Required if the webinar room is password protected)

NOTE: Select text input as the custom field type for all values. Alternate types like drop-down, multi-select, or date-validated fields will not work.

What are custom fields?

Every autoresponder or CRM comes with standard contact data fields: first name, email address, phone number, etc.

Custom fields let you collect additional data that is specific to your market or usage. These fields are often used to personalize email marketing by injecting data into a message that is specific to an individual recipient. This is the function that your autoresponder will use to send unique details about a webinar to your registrants.

Pro tip:

If you run multiple events that are closely scheduled, consider creating unique custom fields for each event:

Live_Room_Link_1
Live_Room_Link_2
Replay_Room_Link_1
Replay_Room_Link_2

If an previous attendee registers for another webinar, the custom field values are overwritten in your autoresponder with the details from the most recent registration. If there is no overlap in the webinars’ email notification scheduling, multiple sets of custom fields are not needed.

Configure Your Webinar

To enable the integrated autoresponder or CRM:

In WebinarJam
Open a webinar and go to Notifications > Your Email Gateway
Select Your own autoresponder
All integrated autoresponders will appear below. Hover over your preferred application and click Custom Fields.

IMPORTANT: Due to limitations in their APIs, Maropost and Constant Contact are not supported for this feature.

Match Custom Fields

Match the details of your webinar to the custom fields created in your autoresponder.

In the Custom fields pop-up:

Click each field in the window to access a list of custom fields from your autoresponder
Select the option from the drop-down that corresponds with each field value
Save Custom fields and the Email Gateway module to complete the webinar setup

CRITICAL: Custom fields linked in a webinar configuration must remain active to work. If a field is deleted or changed, go back to the webinar configuration and update the custom fields portion of the integration.

Test the Integration

Test the autoresponder integration with an automation rule triggered by registration.

In the webinar configuration

Go to Integrations > Email autoresponder integration
Click the autoresponder tile to add or edit integration rules
Select a trigger and action for the rule
- Example: IF they register, THEN add to list

In your autoresponder

Create an email for webinar registrants that will send in response to the automation action configured at the previous step
- Example: An email that sends when a contact is added to the list specified in the rule
In the email body, use the webinar custom fields to insert information about the event (example in the following image)

Test the registration flow

Use the registration page link for the webinar to register with a valid email address
- If all previous steps were completed correctly, this should trigger the integration rule and send you an email with the details of the webinar.
Check your autoresponder:
- Do the custom fields appear in your test contact with webinar details in them?
- Is the contact subscribed to the list specified in your automation rule?
Check your email inbox:
- Did you receive the webinar notification?
- Are the correct webinar details displayed?

If the details are correct in your autoresponder and the email, the setup is complete. Use the custom field variables with the webinar information to create more notifications, a replay follow-up, and any custom funnel designs that are possible in your autoresponder.

Your own SMTP gateway

This article is for WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

WebinarJam Mail is included with your subscription to deliver notifications and reminders configured for your webinars. If you prefer, integrate a third-party SMTP service to manage your mail.

Connect a third-party SMTP service to your account: SMTP Integrations

Note: API-based connections are required to track email analytics such as email opens, clicks, bounces, etc.

Configure Your Webinar

To enable the integrated SMTP service:

Open a webinar and go to Notifications > Your Email Gateway
Select Your own SMTP gateway
Save the module

Repeat this process for any additional webinars you want to update. Each time you create a new webinar, select the integrated SMTP service if preferred.

Email Send-from and Reply-to

Emails sent through the integrated SMTP will be sent from the “Sender Email” address specified in the integration connection settings. The sender address will be used as the send-from and reply-to address for all notifications.

The name registrants will see as the sender for notifications is the webinar host’s full name. The host is set in the webinar configuration wizard, under Configuration > Webinar presenters.

Learn more about viewing and editing the webinar host

Test the Integration

Note that WebinarJam/EverWebinar cannot check the status of your SMTP account or the validity of the API credentials provided.

To ensure the deliverability of your webinar notifications, provide a valid API key and keep the integrated SMTP account active. The WebinarJam server will send an outbound API request to your integrated provider using the API credentials provided and ask them to deliver an email notification at the appropriate time.

The WebinarJam server does not receive notice of any failure to reach your SMTP service or deliver the messages. In the event of delivery failure, the emails will not be resent, and you will not be notified. Always run a few tests to ensure your configuration is correctly set up.

Customize notification sender details

This article is for both WebinarJam and EverWebinar.

Send notification emails before and after a webinar so registrants automatically receive reminders and a copy of the replay.

By default, notifications are sent from the webinar host’s full name and email address. When a registrant receives a notification, the message in their inbox will be “from” the host.

To edit the notification sender details:

Open a webinar and go to Configuration > Webinar presenters
Click the pencil icon on the host module
Update the full name and email address in the contact fields
Click Save and Save again to close the module

Emails from the preceding example will be sent from John Smith <[email protected]>

A warning message appears if the Webinar Host & Presenter’s email address uses a custom domain that has not been authenticated with DKIM records in the domain settings. Learn how to authenticate your sender domains.

Do not check the box to bypass DKIM security without understanding the impact. Learn more about the DKIM missing error.

IMPORTANT: If the webinar host has a free email address (such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc), the sender email address is converted to [email protected]. For example, if the webinar host is Joe Smith <[email protected]>, email reminders will be sent out as Joe Smith <[email protected]>. This is done to improve deliverability and reduce the likelihood that your messages will end up in spam.

Facebook Live

This article is for WebinarJam only.

Important: Facebook Live has changed

As of Monday, April 22, 2024, Meta removed Facebook Group API support for all third-party services including WebinarJam. As of this date, WebinarJam events using Facebook Live as the broadcasting service will no longer stream to Facebook Groups.
