Connect Zoom once and a webinar runs itself: the meeting is created with the event, join details go only to registrants, attendance records itself from the participant report, reports email your team, evaluations compile for the board, and CE certificates issue automatically. Prefer Teams, Google Meet, or something else? Paste any link and keep every downstream automation.
Zoom, Fully Automated
Connect your association’s own Zoom account once, and from then on ticking one box when you create the event creates the Zoom meeting for you — link, meeting ID, passcode, and dial-in numbers fill in and go out to registrants automatically. After the webinar, attendance imports itself from Zoom’s participant report. (A Zoom subscription itself isn’t included — attendance reporting needs one of Zoom’s paid plans.)
Or Any Video Tool
Teams, Google Meet, Webex, a Zoom meeting you made by hand — paste the link and joining details on the event form. Registrants get them in confirmations, day-before reminders, and their member hub. One honest difference from Zoom: attendance isn’t captured automatically — mark it in a click afterward, or let evaluation submissions count as attendance.
The Follow-Through Is Automatic Either Way
Attendance reports email your team after the event, evaluation requests go out, results compile for the board a week later, and CE certificates issue on attested completion — whichever video tool you used.
Your Level of Automation
Start fully manual (mark attendance yourself, paste links), automate one piece at a time, or connect Zoom and let the whole pipeline run. Every automation has a manual override, so you’re never locked into ours — or locked out of yours.
