Automatically subscribe registrants to future webinar dates

Learn how to automatically subscribe new subscribers to future webinar dates or webinar series, so they don't have to register again.

Written by Paula

What is automatic subscription?

The 'Automatically subscribe subscribers to future dates' feature lets you automatically register new subscribers for future webinar dates or webinar series you add later.

This is useful if you host webinars regularly and don't want subscribers to sign up again for each new date. You can choose to automatically subscribe everyone, let subscribers choose, or turn off automatic subscriptions.

Please note! This feature is only available for live webinars.

How to enable automatic subscription

  1. Open your webinar in WebinarGeek.

  2. Navigate to the 'Registration' tab and select 'Settings'

  3. Under the section 'Access & security' find 'Automatically subscribe subscribers to future dates'

  4. Choose one of the three available options:

    • Don't subscribe automatically

    • Subscribe automatically

    • Opt-in

The option you choose decides if new subscribers will be automatically registered for future webinar dates.

Automatic subscription options

You can choose from three options for automatic subscriptions.

Don't subscribe automatically

When this option is selected, subscribers will not automatically be subscribed to new webinar dates. If you add a new date to your webinar, subscribers will need to register separately if they want to attend.

Subscribe automatically

With this option enabled, every new subscriber is automatically subscribed to future webinar dates and webinars added to this webinar as a series.

For example:

  1. You create a live webinar with a date scheduled for November 5.

  2. A subscriber registers for your webinar.

  3. You add another webinar date for November 12.

  4. The subscriber is automatically subscribed to the new date.

This is useful for recurring webinars or webinar series where you want subscribers to stay registered for upcoming sessions.

Opt-in

The 'Opt-in' option lets registrants choose whether they want to be automatically registered for future webinar dates. When you select this option, a checkbox appears on the registration page. Registrants can check this box to sign up for future dates automatically.
