Question

How to manage invitee responses after creating a webinar?

Hello-

I have a few questions I have been trying to get answers to:

  1. After I create the Webinar, will an invite get sent to all invitees with a link they
    can click on to accept/decline, and also a link to the meeting?
  2. Will this put the webinar on the invitees' calendar?
  3. Will the webinar track who responded (ie-accept/decline);  
  4. When an invitee accepts/declines the meeting, will I get notified of this as the
         creator/chair of the meeting? 
  5. Will the invitees receive automatic reminders of the webinar?

Thank you for your help!

Sarah,

I'll do my best to answer the questions.

  1. Only if you are using the Events module and Invite those users. They will get an invitation email that allows them to either click the link and come register for the event or ignore it and not register for the event. There is no yes/no button, as it were.
  2. So long as you include the iCal attachment, yes it would populate on their calendar. This is on by default, so it should happen.
  3. I believe you can set it to ask for a response.
  4. It will send the accept/decline response to the calendar event to the email of the user account that created the Event. Well, more specifically the email you define to have the notifications come from.
  5. If you configure them in the Event module, yes.

The Webinar/Seminar Rooms in Connect don't have an option to have emails sent out like this. However, the license you have for a Webinar room should include access to the Events module of Connect. If you are just using Meeting rooms, then you would need to purchase a license for the Events module.
