In today’s world, efficiency is no longer just an option; it’s a necessity. A seamless and automated experience can make or break your virtual events.
We know how important it is to optimize your Zoom webinars, which is why we’ve compiled a list of the top 7 ways to automate your Zoom experience for ultimate efficiency and engagement.
But before we dive in, let’s look at the benefits of using Zoom automation.
Why You Should Use Zoom Automation
Cost-Effectiveness
It may seem counterintuitive, but investing in Zoom automation tools can actually save you money in the long run. How?
Reducing the hours required for repetitive tasks like sending out Zoom invites or setting up live webinars gives you more time to focus on strategic initiatives that drive revenue and growth.
Minimize Human Error
Let’s face it: mistakes happen. Imagine sending out an email blast with the wrong date or failing to follow up with attendees. This is a constant risk in any manually operated Zoom meeting.
Automation minimizes this risk by ensuring that repetitive tasks are executed precisely every single time.
Scalability
Manual operations often become bottlenecks as your webinars grow in size and frequency.
Zoom automation eliminates this hurdle and lets you seamlessly scale your operations – whether you’re hosting a small webinar for 20 participants or a large-scale virtual conference for thousands.
Enhanced Audience Experience
Automation provides a smoother, more professional experience for your attendees, from registration right up to post-webinar follow-up.
For instance, Zoom automated email reminders ensure that your attendees never miss a session. And post-webinar surveys can be sent out immediately after the event, capturing feedback while the experience is still fresh in their minds.
Live-Like Events
Automating Zoom with the help of AEvent gives you capabilities as close to a live event as currently possible. By simulating a live event, you can impart the special feeling and conversions normally only possible when you show up to record live.
One way to replicate a live setting is by enabling auto-chat to send messages to attendees that were sent during a live event.
AEvent also supports other live-like functions like automated chat roll, live-support/Slack interface, and dynamic CTA popups.
7 Steps to Mastering Zoom Automation
1. Automatic Registration for Attendees
The first touchpoint your audience has with your Zoom meeting or webinar is the registration process. A cumbersome, time-consuming registration can deter even the most interested participants.
On the other hand, automatic registration simplifies the process. Instead of navigating through complex forms and verification steps, they can quickly sign up through a single-click registration.
With AEvent, you can even create and customize registration forms to capture the exact information you need.
This way, you can segment the participants in your Zoom automated meeting and send them targeted content.
2. Personalized Emails and Reminders
When an email addresses us by our name or mentions a topic we’re interested in, we’re more likely to read it and take action.
In fact, personalized emails have higher open rates, thus driving more attendees to your Zoom meeting. Best of all, you can automate these emails using your Zoom automation tool.
When you integrate Zoom with AEvent, you can create dynamic email campaigns directly inside the platform for both pre-event and post-event. This helps you achieve maximum engagement and conversions.
The platform’s native Google Integration will automatically add the Zoom event to attendees’ calendars, making it less likely they’ll forget or miss the schedule.
In a world where users value immediacy, making your content quickly accessible after the Zoom event can give you a distinct edge.
With AEvent’s WhatsApp integration, the process becomes a lot easier.
Just minutes after ending the Zoom session, an automated process triggers in AEvent that sends the recorded session via WhatsApp to all registered attendees, including those who couldn’t make it.
You can also customize the sharing settings to include additional material like presentation slides, links to related content, or even promotional offers alongside the recording.
Increasing the number of touchpoints you have with your audience also increases the likelihood that they’ll convert.

4. Integration with CRM
Understanding your audience and tracking their interactions are vital for your long-term success. That’s where integrating your Zoom webinars with a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system comes in.
For example, you can set up event-based triggers that initiate CRM workflows. If an attendee asks about pricing during the Q&A, that could trigger a ‘hot lead’ alert within your CRM.
AEvent can also automatically tag attendees based on their behavior during the Zoom event. These tags are then synced to your CRM, making it easier to trigger specific actions or campaigns.
Whether you are using Salesforce, HubSpot, or any other popular CRM, AEvent supports a wide range of platforms for maximum flexibility.
5. Follow-up Campaigns
While many businesses understand the importance of post-Zoom event engagement, they often overlook the effectiveness of automation in maximizing the reach and impact of these campaigns.
Automation ensures that your follow-up emails or messages are sent at the right time. It also helps you to easily segment your audience and send customized content that resonates with individual needs and preferences.
For example, you can send a different set of follow-up emails to attendees who asked questions during the meeting versus those who were passive listeners.
In addition, Zoom automated emails ensure consistency in your messaging, which enhances brand reliability and trust among your audience.
6. Post-Webinar Polls and Surveys
Feedback is the lifeblood of continuous improvement, and in the context of Zoom webinars, it’s no different.
Gathering immediate, actionable insights from your attendees can give you a significant edge in refining your content and approach.
While you could manually send out surveys after your event, automating this process can ensure a higher response rate, faster data gathering, and more streamlined analytics.
AEvent’s robust features can help you make the most of your post-Zoom event feedback process. By compiling the survey and poll results into easy-to-read reports that can be directly integrated into your analytics tool, you’ll have the insights you need to continuously improve your events…and conversions.
7. Multi-Channel Outreach
Multi-channel outreach, i.e. strategically engaging your audience across multiple platforms, whether email, SMS, social media, or traditional channels like phone calls, is critical to increase your conversions.
This not only amplifies your message but also meets the diverse needs of your target audience. Luckily, AEvent features multi-channel integrations that you can apply to your automated Zoom meetings.
You can schedule your SMS/MMS messages directly within the platform to coordinate seamlessly with your email automations.
Plus, AEvent lets you connect your account with ManyChat to communicate across social media platforms like Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and more.
