Enable Custom Confirmation Page
When a person registers for your webinar, choose to direct them to a default confirmation page or a custom page.
To use a custom confirmation page:
- Go to the Thank You step in the webinar configuration wizard
- Open the Default vs Custom confirmation page module and select Your own custom page
- Enter the link to your custom page in the Post-registration confirmation page field
- Turn Send register information and webinar information on or off. This option is ON by default.
Send Registration and Webinar Information
If the registration confirmation page is hosted outside the WebinarJam/EverWebinar system, some registration information can be passed as parameters in the URL if you want to display them on the external page. This is optional. To enable this, make sure Send register information and webinar information is turned ON at the Thank You page step of the webinar configuration.

Activate Confirmation Email Message
If you turn off Send register information and webinar information or choose NOT to include custom parameters in the confirmation page, make sure the confirmation email at the Notifications step is active. The confirmation email sends registrants a unique link to the webinar room and a reminder of the event's date and time.
