Webinar Confirmation & Reminders

Confirms webinar registrations and sends 24-hour, 1-hour, and 10-minute reminder emails timed to the event.

What it does

The moment a prospect registers for a webinar, this automation tags them, pulls the webinar start date and time dynamically, and sends an immediate confirmation email. It then fires a precise reminder sequence timed to the event โ€” a 24-hour reminder email, a 1-hour reminder email, and a final reminder email sent minutes before the webinar starts. Every step is anchored to the actual event date and time, not fixed delays, so the sequence works correctly regardless of when the registration happens.

The value

Webinar show-up rates are one of the biggest levers in an event-based sales funnel โ€” and they drop sharply without consistent reminders. This automation solves that entirely. Every registrant gets a professional confirmation and three precisely timed reminders without anyone on the team manually tracking who registered and when. Higher show-up rates mean more people in the room, more conversations started, and more sales opportunities created from the same event.

Where it fits

This sits between webinar registration and the live event itself โ€” it's the show-up engine that protects the investment made in running the webinar. For clients using webinars as a lead generation or conversion tool, this automation directly impacts the ROI of every event they run. A 10โ€“20% improvement in show-up rate from better reminders can meaningfully change the revenue outcome of a single webinar.

Overall purpose

Automatically confirm webinar registrations, tag registrants, store the webinar event date and time, and send a series of reminder emails leading up to the webinar.
