Live webinar setup (4 steps)

Step 1: Webinar details

• Webinar Name (required)
• Timezone (defaults to America/New_York)
• Date (required, future date)
• Time (required)

Step 2: Select form

Pick a form from Sites > Forms, or build a custom one with the fields you need. Submissions sync to the CRM and trigger reminder workflows.

Step 3: Live webinar link

Paste your streaming link. Examples:

• Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/123456789
• YouTube Live: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ABC123

Step 4: Templates

Pick from pre-designed funnel templates such as Blank Live, E-Commerce Marketing Live, Financial Planning Live, and DIY Home Remodel Live.

On-Demand webinar setup (4 steps)

Step 1: Webinar details

Just a name. No timezone, date, or time.

Step 2: Select form

Same as Live. Pick from Sites > Forms or build a custom one.

Step 3: Select video

Upload the recording or pick from your media library. Supported formats include MP4, MOV, and AVI.

Step 4: Templates

Same template library, optimized for self-paced viewing.

Reminders and follow-ups

Each webinar funnel ships with an automation recipe. Form submissions trigger the workflow, which can send Live attendees reminders 24 hours, 1 hour, and 10 minutes before the session, then follow up afterward with thank-you emails, replay links, and nurture sequences. Edit the workflow from the three-dot menu on the funnel.

Best practices

Live

• Test the stream before going live.
• Pick times that line up with audience timezones.
• Promote early and often.
• Have a backup plan for technical issues.
• Use chat, polls, and Q&A to drive interaction.

On-Demand

• Upload high-resolution recordings.
• Keep videos to 30 to 60 minutes.
• Refresh content periodically so it does not feel dated.

Troubleshooting

• Stream link not working: verify the URL format and test before going live.
• Timezone confusion: show the timezone clearly on registration and confirmation pages.
• Upload fails: check format, file size, and connection.
• Form not capturing leads: confirm CRM integration with a test submission.
