Events and attendance

Webinar

The event itself: title, description, cover images, slug, visibility and settings such as the default funnel, the waitlist and members-only access. A webinar has a public page at webinars.yourdomain.com/webinars/ followed by its slug. You set it up once and run it as many times as you like. See Creating a Webinar.

Session

One scheduled run of a webinar, with its own registration link, registrations, chat and statistics. A session has four dates, Featured From, Live Starts At, Live Ends At and Featured Until, and moves through its statuses as they pass:

Status	Starts at	Meaning
Scheduled	Creation	Upcoming. People can register.
Open	Featured From	Featured on your home pages; waitlisted people can be told about it.
Live	Live Starts At	The broadcast is on. "Starting now" notifications go out.
Replay	Live Ends At	The recording is available. "Replay available" notifications go out.
Archived	Featured Until	Removed from your public lists.

Every session belongs to at least one of its webinar's funnels. See Sessions & Lifecycle.

Registration

A person signing up for one session. Its status is registered at first, becomes attended when the person opens the live room (before the start, during the live or on replay) and no_show if they never do. It can also be canceled, by the person or by your team. How they last joined is recorded as pre_show, live, replay or evergreen. See Registration & Attendee Experience.

Lobby and live room

After registering, people land in the session's lobby in the attendee app: a countdown before the start, then a button into the live room, where they watch the video, chat, answer polls, see your offer and leave feedback. Your team follows and runs the session from the live control panel.

Members-only webinar

A webinar whose sessions only people with an active membership can watch, for paid or recurring programs. Members don't register in advance: they sign in on the session's page with a code or link emailed to them. See Members-Only Webinars.

People and data

Contact

One person in your organization's database, identified by their email address. A contact is created automatically the first time an address reaches you, for example through a registration or a funnel form, and collects everything about that person: registrations, attendance, live-session activity, emails and messages received, consents, funnel entries and lead score. See Contacts.

A contact can be flagged, meaning email to their address is suppressed (for example after a hard bounce), or restricted, meaning their processing is frozen at their request under the GDPR.

Consent

What a person has agreed to, such as marketing emails, SMS notifications or behavioral tracking. Consents belong to the contact, not to one webinar, so they apply across your organization until withdrawn. The behavioral-tracking consent decides whether live activity (chat, poll votes, offer clicks, reactions, feedback, shares) is added to the contact's activity history, which lead scores and many segment rules rely on. See GDPR.

Lead score

A points total showing how engaged a contact is, earned by chatting, voting, clicking your offer, attending and sharing. There's a score per webinar and an overall score. Only activity recorded with behavioral-tracking consent counts. See Lead Scoring.

Segment

A named group of contacts, either rule-based (everyone who matches your conditions, re-evaluated automatically) or manual (the contacts you add). Use segments to find qualified leads, export lists, send broadcasts and sync lists to Newsman Marketing. See Segments.

Marketing

Funnel

An ordered list of steps that measures how people move from a landing page to a registration, an offer click or a purchase: page views, form submissions, tracked-link clicks, webhook events and webinar attendance. A webinar's Default Funnel is where its public address leads and where registrations from outside funnel forms are recorded. See Funnels.

Landing page

A page on your public site at webinars.yourdomain.com/p/ followed by its address, built in the page editor by hand, from a template or with AI. Pages are drafts until you publish them, and each publish is kept as a version. Funnel pages can show live details such as the next session's date and the registration form through template variables. See Landing Pages.

Offer

The clickable banner you show attendees in the live room, usually leading to a checkout. The offer holds the images and chat text; its link comes from a tracked-link step in a funnel, so every click is counted. See Offers.

Poll and feedback

A poll is a single- or multiple-choice question you open during a session. Feedback is a star rating with an optional comment that attendees give when you request it; comments can be approved as testimonials. See Polls and Feedback & Testimonials.

Automation

A sequence of emails, SMS messages and waits that runs on its own when someone submits a funnel form, for example to keep a waitlist informed about new sessions. See Automations.

Broadcast

A one-off email you write in the dashboard and send to a segment, optionally personalized with a session's join link. See Segment Broadcasts.

Share link

A personal link each registrant gets for inviting others. Clicks and the registrations it brings in are credited to them as referrals. See Share Links & Referrals.

Behind the scenes

Notifications

Transactional messages sent to registrants at set moments: a confirmation, a reminder, "starting now" and "replay available", by email and, with the person's consent, by SMS and push notification. Email content lives in templates in your Newsman account. See Email, SMS and Push notifications.

Background jobs

Much of the platform runs on periodic checks rather than instantly: moving sessions between statuses, sending reminders, marking no-shows, re-evaluating segments, recalculating lead scores and syncing to Newsman. That's why some changes appear within a few minutes rather than immediately. See Background Jobs.

Attribution

Where registrations come from: UTM parameters, ad clicks, referrals, devices and locations, recorded when someone enters a funnel. See Webinar Overview & Attribution and Analytics.
