08003 – How to setup an Evergreen Auto Webinar

An Evergreen Auto Webinar is a never ending webinar, that forever repeats and works on autopilot. When users register for the Webinar, their webinar date will be saved with their details.

For example, if you land on the webinar registration page and today is 20 May, the auto webinar is set to Evergreen and is setup to add 2 days to today’s date, then that means the Webinar registration page will say that the webinar starts on May 22.

If you visit the registration page the next day (May 21) the webinar date will change to 23 May.
