As an organizer of a webinar, you are able to customize email addresses that go out to panelists, registrants, participants, and absentees who are a part of the webinar. In the emails, HTML and FreeMarker formats are used to code the emails.

The registration page for your webinar can also be customized to suit your needs.

Note:

In the Meeting tab of Account Settings, you’ll also find the options to modify the Email templates for Webinar Invite Attendees, Webinar Invite Attendees (without registration), and Webinar Invite Panelists.

   • Select Email Language: In order to receive webinar emails in your preferred language, you will need to select one. The language will be set based on the recipient’s Zoom profile, if the recipient has one, when you select Same as the recipient’s default language. Otherwise, the user who is registering will be able to select the language in which the emails will be sent as listed on their registration page. Visit the Zoom website to find out how you can change your language.
   • Email Contact: Your webinar emails are going to show a reply-to address and a name that is going to appear as the reply-to address.
   • Invitation Email to Panelists: If a panelist is added by the webinar host to the webinar, then an invitation email should be sent to them once they have been added.
   • Confirmation Email to Registrants*: Add additional text to the beginning or end of the email body, or select if a confirmation email would be sent to webinar registrants, or change the subject line if a confirmation email is sent. The existing email text can only be customized by administrators.
   • Reminder email to Attendees and Panelists*: The registrants and panelists can be notified by email if and when a reminder email will be sent. The email can be sent at a later date, the subject line can be edited, or text can be added towards the end of the email. The text of the existing email can only be customized by admins.
   • Follow-up email to Attendees*: Follow-up emails should be sent to webinar attendees if and when they have not yet received one. Adding a few lines to the end of the body of the email will help to make it look more professional. It is only the administrators who have the ability to customize the text of the existing emails.
   • Follow-up email to Absentees*: Make sure that registrants who did not attend your webinar receive a follow-up email as soon as possible. The subject line should be changed, and the body should be filled with text. The existing email text can only be customized by admins.

*Note: When webinar registration is required, we send confirmation emails, reminders, and follow-ups.
