One of the valuable aspects of a webinar is being able to collect information about your viewers. The best way to do this is to be engaging.

With a call to action, you’re able to motivate a viewer to perform an action. For example, you could offer the opportunity to request a brochure or personal presentation, or the option to subscribe for the next webinar.

How a call to action looks during a webinar

The viewer will indicate if they are interested and will fill in some extra information if needed.

The viewers that choose to respond to a call to action are interested in your company or product. These are important leads.

Title for internal use

The title you fill in here is only meant for internal use. Give it a practical name so you’ll know during the live webinar which interaction you need to start.

Naming a call to action

Choose the wanted action

At 'What should happen when the button is clicked' choose which action should occur when someone clicked the button.

Registering request and showing ‘thank you’ pop-up

The viewer only has to click the button and their request will immediately be registered. All data will be saved in the process of registration. The data can be explored in the 'Statistics' of your webinar.

  1. Click on 'Statistics'

  2. Then select 'Interactions'

  3. And finally select 'View results'.

This option gives you the opportunity to request more information than what the participant provided during the registration process. You can add extra input fields by clicking on 'Add field'.

Opening an external URL

This gives you the opportunity to redirect the viewer to a website, for example to your sales page. If you want your viewers to be able to send an email directly, you add an email to this Call to Action. You put 'mailto:' before your email adress and fill this in as URL. For example: mailto:email@example.com.

Your links can also contain variables. These variables will automatically be replaced with the subscriber's information. For example, if you use a one-click registration link, it will automatically use the clicking subscriber's info on the new registration page. You can find more information on using variables here.

Please note! The viewer will be immediately redirected to this page. This will happen in another tab, but viewers could get distracted in the process.

Customize the interaction

Adapting the text works the same as how you’d do it in the page editor.

  1. Click on the text to edit.

  2. Then change the image by clicking on the gear icon.

  3. And finally, to change the button color, click the gear icon and choose 'Edit color'.

Have a custom color code? Click the color code option on the top right to edit.

To edit the text color, click on the tab with the 'T' symbol on the left.

Customize the interaction colors

After doing this, click on 'Create new call to action' to create the call to action.

You can set the amount of time the interaction should remain in view by default. You can change this duration during your live webinar or manually end the interaction early. See this article for additional information on how to start an interaction.

Call to action - on demand and automated webinar

For an on demand and automated webinar, you need to set the 'start time' and the duration of your call to action.

Choose 'Start time' and fill in the time the call to action should be started, as well as the duration the call to action will be visible.

The call to action will now automatically start at the planned time.
