  • Create Trigger: when the webinar has started or when the webinar has ended.
  • Define Trigger Timing: you can choose to send emails, WhatsApp messages, and Web Push notifications 'immediately' or schedule them to be sent 'before trigger' or 'after trigger' at specific days or hours
  • Add emails: Generate a coupon code offering a discount in your paid course and here you will also find a pre-built email already available which you can easily modify at your end and add the coupon code in the email.
  • Add WhatsApp Action: Where you can add WhatsApp messages pre-approved by Meta as promotional messages which can be sent at specific timings based on the triggers as well.
  • Add Web Push Action: Send browser push notifications to attendees or registrants based on the same triggers. Choose recipients (all who registered, all who attended, or all who registered but didn't attend) and enter the Title, Body, and Action URL.

NOTE: The Triggers and timings option can be used to send emails, WhatsApp messages, and Web Push notifications before the webinar starts and afterwards as well. This allows you to send reminder emails, WhatsApp messages and Web Push notifications automatically to your registered participants, send reminders to attend the program and upsell your programs purely based on their attendance complete with coupon codes and custom-written messaging.

• Select Recipients and Setup Emails based on their attendance:
  
  • All those who registered for the webinar
  • All those who attended the webinar 
    
  • All those who registered but didn't attend the webinar
  • Activity sign-ups (already enrolled)
• Once done mark the setup completed
• Retarget your page visitors for more conversions by re-engaging interested users with relevant content. By displaying targeted ads to users who have previously visited your website, retargeting keeps your brand and products fresh in their minds, encouraging them to return and complete desired actions, ultimately leading to higher conversion rates.
• Once done mark “I have retargeted the users with ads” as complete
• Click on Publish Funnel

Important Considerations

• To know which funnel would work fine for your online course, feel free to watch the session on which funnel is best for your business.
• When you click on buttons like create a course/create a page/edit landing page etc. Don't worry if you get redirected to other sections in the dashboard, on the bottom right-hand side of the screen you'll find an option to go back to building the funnel.
• You can always come back to the funnel builder section and complete building the funnel as well. 
• A maximum of 6 emails, WhatsApp messages, and Web Push notifications combined can be sent via a Funnel upto a period of 10 days starting from the time of the trigger.
