Letting Registrants Pick a Webinar Time and Get a Confirmation Email
If you run the same session at several times, you can use one registration form with a time-slot question and an automatic email that repeats back the choice.
Step 1: Create the Slot Field
- Go to Settings > Custom Fields and click + Add Field.
- Choose Dropdown or Radio Select, name it "Choose Your Webinar Time", and set the object to Contact.
- Add your options, such as Tuesday 7 PM, Thursday 2 PM and Saturday 11 AM.
- Leave Allow Custom Values off so people can only pick listed times.
- Save.
Step 2: Add It to the Form
Open Sites > Forms, create or edit the registration form, and drag the new field from the Custom Fields tab onto it along with name and email. Save.
Step 3: Send the Confirmation
Form settings control only what shows on the page after submit, so emails need a Workflow.
- Go to Automation > Workflows and create one.
- Set the trigger to Form Submitted and select your form.
- Add a Send Email action with a subject like "Webinar Registration Confirmed".
- In the body, greet the contact with their first name merge field, insert the slot field from the merge field list, and add your meeting link.
- Save and publish.
Step 4: Add Reminders (Optional)
In the same Workflow, add Wait steps counted from the webinar time and send reminders at 24 hours, 1 hour and 10 minutes before. For several sessions, add an If/Else step that checks the slot field and sends the matching reminder schedule.
Good to know: Send yourself a test registration for every slot, so you can confirm each one produces the right reminder timing.
