How do I create a personalized join link using URL parameters?

Personalized join links allow you to send known contacts directly into an ungated webinar and auto-register them for it the moment they join. You can do this by adding URL parameters to:

  • Ungated replay links

  • Ungated on-demand webinar links

How it works

Add URL parameters to an ungated webinar link to identify the attendee when they click it.

For example:

?name=Jane%20Doe&email=jane@example.com

Required fields

You must include the attendee’s name and email address.

Name field(s)

Name is required, though it does not matter whether you use one name field or two:

  • Single field:

    • name=Jane%20Doe

  • Two fields:

    • firstName=Jane

    • lastName=Doe

Email field

  • email=jane@example.com

Note that properties are case-sensitive.

How to build your URL

  1. Copy the ungated replay or on-demand webinar link from the Share page of your eWebinar

  2. Add a question mark (?) to begin parameters

  3. Add your fields using this format:

    • field=value

  4. Separate multiple parameters with an ampersand (&)

  5. Add a space within a parameter with %20

Example:

?email=jane@example.com&firstName=Jane&lastName=Doe

How to use URL parameters at scale

CRMs, like Hubspot, and in-app messaging tools, like Userpilot, let you insert merge fields into a hyperlink, so that links are creating dynamically for individual contacts in emails when they are sent or in messages when they are generated in-app.
