Are you trying to confirm whether you can run webinars—and specifically evergreen, automated webinars—inside Systeme.io without cobbling together a dozen separate tools?
Does Systeme.io Support Webinars And Evergreen Funnels?
You want a straight answer first. Yes, Systeme.io supports evergreen (automated) webinars natively and gives you the building blocks to run live-style webinar events using embedded video streams. It also lets you build evergreen sales funnels with deadlines, email automation, and post-webinar offers.
There are a few nuances you should understand, especially around what’s native and what you’ll integrate. You’ll see how evergreen webinars work in Systeme.io, how to handle live sessions, what plan you need, and how to connect your sales process end-to-end.
What Do “Webinar” and “Evergreen Funnel” Mean Here?
Before you set things up, it helps to align on definitions. Different platforms mean different things when they say “webinar” or “evergreen.”
Webinar
A webinar is a scheduled event where you present content to registrants, often with slides or video and a strong call-to-action. In Systeme.io, “webinar” functionality focuses on:
- Registration and confirmation pages
- Automated reminders and follow-up
- A “webinar room” page and replay page
- A sales path tied to the event
Systeme.io does not host live video streaming itself. For true live streaming, you embed or link a third-party live video (e.g., YouTube Live, Zoom). For automated webinars, you use a pre-recorded video and Systeme.io schedules and controls the experience.
Evergreen Funnel
An evergreen funnel runs continuously, not tied to a one-time date. When someone opts in, they enter a personalized timeline: reminders, timed “go live” windows, offers, and deadlines. In Systeme.io, evergreen funnels leverage:
- Evergreen webinar funnel types (pre-recorded)
- Email campaigns and workflows
- Dynamic scheduling (including just-in-time) for each new registrant
- Scarcity timers and deadline pages for time-bound offers
This lets you sell every day, not just during live launches.
Quick Answer Summary
To help you orient quickly, here’s a concise snapshot of what you can and cannot do with webinars and evergreen funnels in Systeme.io.
Capability | Supported in Systeme.io? | How It Works | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Evergreen (automated) webinars | Yes (native) | Use the Evergreen Webinar funnel type, schedule sessions, add a pre-recorded video, and automate registration/reminders/follow-up | Available on the Webinar plan and higher (plan names/pricing can change) |
Live webinar hosting (native) | No | Embed YouTube Live or a third-party webinar tool on a Systeme.io page; use Systeme.io for registration, reminders, and sales pages | You handle the stream on an external platform |
Webinar registration pages | Yes (native) | High-converting templates, A/B testing, custom fields, tagging | Attach to email campaigns and workflows |
Automated reminders and follow-up | Yes (native) | Email campaigns or workflows triggered by registration | Use segmentation tags for show/no-show |
Sales and checkout during/after webinar | Yes (native) | Order pages, order bumps, one-click upsells, downsells, coupons | Integrates with Stripe/PayPal |
Evergreen sales funnels (beyond webinars) | Yes (native) | Funnels + automations + timed offers and redirects | For strict deadline enforcement across assets, third-party tools can help |
Webinar analytics | Partial (native) | Page views, funnel conversions, revenue; email open/click stats | No native watch-time heatmaps; use UTM tracking or third-party analytics for deeper insights |
Evergreen Webinars in Systeme.io — What You Can Do
If you want to run “always-on” webinars, Systeme.io is built to streamline that. You create a funnel dedicated to your evergreen event and control the registration, schedule, delivery, and follow-up sequence.
Create an Evergreen Webinar Funnel
You can spin up an evergreen webinar funnel from the Funnels area by choosing Evergreen Webinar as the type. This provides pre-built steps:
- Registration page
- Thank you/confirmation page
- Webinar page (with scheduled sessions)
- Replay page
You then add your pre-recorded video and align automated emails and sales steps. This lets each registrant experience a timed event without you being present.
Scheduling Options (Just-in-Time, Daily, Weekly)
Scheduling is where evergreen webinars shine. Systeme.io gives you controls to mimic a live schedule per user:
- Just-in-time sessions: Offer a session starting soon (e.g., in 15 minutes) so registrants feel minimal friction from sign-up to attendance.
- Daily/weekly times: Show specific times throughout the day or week in the registrant’s local time.
- Cutoffs and buffers: Define how close to the start time someone can register, and use countdown timers for urgency.
These settings make the experience feel timely even though it’s automated.
Registration and Confirmation Pages
Your registration page is your conversion lever. Systeme.io provides templates optimized for opt-ins, and you can A/B test headlines, layouts, and social proof. Add custom fields if you need more data, but keep the form focused for better conversion.
After registration, your confirmation page sets expectations. Reinforce the chosen time, add an “Add to Calendar” prompt, and set a clear next step. You can also tag the registrant here to trigger your reminder sequence.
Automated Reminder and Follow-Up Emails
Attendance hinges on reminders. In Systeme.io, you attach email campaigns or workflows to your registration event:
- Pre-webinar reminders: Send emails at strategic intervals—24 hours, 1 hour, and 10 minutes before the session.
- “Starting now” nudge: For just-in-time sessions, a short reminder close to the start tends to lift attendance.
- Post-webinar follow-up: Send a replay email, a direct offer link, and a deadline reminder if you’re running a time-limited promotion.
Use tags like “Registered,” “Attended,” and “Missed” to personalize the follow-up. You can automate tag assignment based on link clicks, page visits (via tracked links), and time-based triggers.
The Webinar Room and Replay Pages
The webinar page hosts your pre-recorded video and sales prompts. You can:
- Embed a hosted video (YouTube unlisted, Vimeo, or uploaded video depending on your plan).
- Add a dynamic countdown and “Join Now” behavior for scheduled entrances.
- Show your call-to-action at a specific timestamp using conditional display for buttons or sections.
Your replay page extends the life of the event for those who missed it. Align the replay availability with your offer deadline and redirect to an expired page afterward.
Selling During and After the Webinar
Your selling options in Systeme.io are robust. You can:
- Link to a dedicated order page from inside the webinar and replay pages.
- Offer order bumps on checkout for complementary value.
- Use one-click upsells and downsells after checkout to increase average order value.
- Provide coupons within a time-bound window tied to your evergreen schedule.
Stripe and PayPal integrations handle payments, and the built-in affiliate program lets partners promote your webinar.
Tagging, Segmentation, and Automation Triggers
Use tags and automation rules to tailor user journeys:
- Tag on registration: Start reminder emails and set the session time in your messaging.
- Tag on attendance: Trigger specific follow-up, including scarcity-driven sequences.
- Tag on purchase: Stop sales emails, start onboarding, and share access to your course or membership.
- “Missed” logic: If someone didn’t click the join link, offer an alternate session or a replay.
Systeme.io workflows allow branching logic, delays, and condition-based routes. While not as granular as a standalone marketing automation suite, it’s more than sufficient for most evergreen webinar strategies.
Analytics and Tracking for Evergreen Webinars
For analytics, Systeme.io provides:
- Funnel stats: Views, conversions, sales value per step.
- Email stats: Delivered, opens, clicks, unsubscribes.
- Revenue reporting: Orders, upsells, refunds.
You won’t see watch-time graphs or minute-by-minute drop-off natively. To approximate engagement, tag link clicks on timed buttons, include timestamps in your emails, and embed UTM parameters to monitor sources. If you require advanced engagement data, consider a video platform with analytics (e.g., Vimeo analytics) or a dedicated evergreen webinar tool in conjunction with Systeme.io pages.
Live Webinars with Systeme.io — Your Options
You can absolutely run live events and still use Systeme.io for the funnel, email reminders, and sales. The live stream itself just comes from another tool.
Method 1: Embed a YouTube Live Stream
This is the most common low-cost approach and easy to deploy:
- Create a YouTube Live event (public, unlisted, or private).
- Embed the live video on your Systeme.io webinar page using the video block embed.
- Use Systeme.io for all registration and reminders, then direct everyone to your embedded page.
- For chat, you can add a link to the YouTube chat or embed it if you’re using an external chat widget that allows embedding.
This setup keeps everything on your branded page and still benefits from YouTube’s streaming infrastructure.
Method 2: Use Zoom/WebinarJam/Demio and Link or Embed
If you prefer a dedicated webinar platform, you can either link out from your Systeme.io reminders and pages, or embed where supported:
- Zoom: Generally you link out. You can still brand the landing pages on Systeme.io and keep the rest of your funnel in one place.
- WebinarJam/Demio: These platforms provide robust webinar features (polls, Q&A). Use Systeme.io pages for registration and connect via Zapier or native integrations, then pass registrants into the webinar platform.
You get best-in-class live features while maintaining your lead capture, tagging, and post-webinar sales process in Systeme.io.
Pros and Limitations of These Live Options
Running live with Systeme.io as your funnel manager works very well in practice. You control the lead capture, emails, and sales, while a streaming tool handles the live video.
The main trade-off is that audience interaction features (polls, Q&A, chat) depend on the livestream tool. If you need fine-grained attendee analytics (join time, leave time), use a webinar platform that provides those metrics and then pass key data back into Systeme.io via tags or automation.
Building Evergreen Sales Funnels (Beyond Webinars)
Evergreen funnels aren’t limited to webinars. If your product sells well with a timed discount or if you prefer perpetual product launch sequences, Systeme.io can run those too.
Evergreen Deadline Strategies
You can create a complete per-user deadline sequence using:
- Scarcity timers on pages: Display a countdown tied to the registrant’s timeline.
- Post-deadline redirects: Send traffic to an expired page once the clock runs out.
- Email alignment: Send reminders aligned with the page deadline.
- Coupon windows: Activate a coupon for a defined period after opt-in, then deactivate it.
For strict enforcement across pages and emails, some marketers connect a third-party deadline service to guarantee synchronization. However, many successful evergreen campaigns run entirely within Systeme.io using page redirects, conditional blocks, and workflow logic.
Automations and Workflows You Can Set
Use workflows to string together evergreen steps:
- Trigger: Opt-in on a lead magnet or registration page.
- Delay: Wait until a specific time window.
- Condition: If clicked/attended/purchased, branch accordingly.
- Actions: Apply tags, start or stop campaigns, grant course access, send internal notifications.
This gives you control over each user’s timeline, guiding them from first touch to purchase and onboarding without manual intervention.
Segmented Follow-up Based on Behavior
Segmentation increases conversions and reduces list fatigue:
- Attended/no-show sequences: Shorten emails for attendees and offer more social proof to no-shows.
- Engaged/non-engaged: Escalate urgency only for those who clicked at least once; offer a softer exit for the rest.
- Customer suppression: Move new buyers into onboarding and remove them from promotional sequences instantly.
Within Systeme.io, you accomplish this with tags, filters in email campaigns, and workflow branches.

Pricing: Which Plan Unlocks Webinar Features?
Plan names and inclusions can change, so verify on Systeme.io’s pricing page. As a general guide, evergreen webinars are available on the mid-tier plan historically named “Webinar” or higher. Here’s a representative breakdown to orient your decision.
Plan | Typical Positioning | Evergreen Webinar Funnel | Email Campaigns | Funnels/Steps | Custom Domains | Notable Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Free | Getting started | No (historically not included) | Yes (limited scope but generous) | Limited number of funnels/steps | Usually none | Great to test the platform |
Startup (entry paid) | For small businesses | Usually No | Yes | More funnels/steps and features | Often 1 | Good for basic funnels and courses |
Webinar (mid-tier) | For evergreen webinars | Yes | Yes | Increased quotas | More custom domains | Evergreen webinars typically unlock here |

Best Practices to Increase Webinar Conversions
Your results hinge on clarity, timing, and frictionless paths to purchase. These tactics consistently move the needle.
Clarify the “Why” on Your Registration Page
- Lead with an outcome-focused headline (what they’ll achieve).
- List 3–5 concrete takeaways; avoid fluff.
- Add social proof: logos, testimonials, or success metrics.
- Minimize fields to name + email unless you truly need more.
Use Just-in-Time to Shorten the Gap
Offer a session starting soon to capture momentum from the signup moment. You typically see higher attendance when the wait is short. Combine this with an immediate confirmation email and a 10-minute reminder.
Align Your Email Timing with Real Behavior Windows
- Mobile-heavy audiences respond to short, direct reminders.
- B2B audiences often prefer midweek sessions and morning/early afternoon times.
- Send the replay promptly, but cap availability to 48–72 hours for urgency.
Tie the Offer to the Content
Your pitch should feel like the next logical step. Mirror the problem-solution narrative from the webinar, include a risk reversal (guarantee or trial), and surface a strong bonus that expires with your deadline.
Shift CTAs During the Event
- Early: “Stay to the end for a bonus”
- Mid: “Here’s how to get result X faster”
- Late: “Claim your bonus before the deadline”
Use a timed button on the webinar page so the CTA appears exactly when you pitch.
Add an Order Bump That Complements the Core Offer
An effective bump is something small, immediately useful, and tightly relevant. For example, a templates pack, a checklist vault, or a private Q&A session.
Segment Follow-up Aggressively
- Attended and clicked: Short and direct, with a fast path to purchase.
- Attended and didn’t click: Address specific objections and add proof.
- Registered and no-show: Offer a time-shifted replay or a “last chance” session.
Tagging and simple branching logic make this painless to set up.
Track the Right Metrics
- Registration conversion rate (by traffic source)
- Show-up rate (live or scheduled time)
- Replay click-through rate
- Sales conversion rate and earnings per registrant
- Refund rate and support issues post-purchase
Use these to prioritize improvements. Registration pages and the first two reminder emails often yield the highest ROI when optimized.
GDPR, Compliance, and Deliverability
If you collect personal data from EU residents—or you simply want best practices—keep these points in mind.
Consent and Transparency
- Use clear consent language on the registration form if you plan to send marketing emails beyond the webinar reminders.
- Link to your privacy policy from your registration page.
- Honor unsubscribe requests promptly; Systeme.io manages unsubscribes automatically.
Data Retention and Access
- Only collect the fields you need.
- Allow users to request their data or deletion.
- Store sensitive notes outside marketing fields unless essential.
Email Deliverability
- Warm up your sending domain if it’s new.
- Authenticate emails with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
- Avoid spam-trigger phrases, especially in early emails.
- Keep your list clean: prune hard bounces and chronic non-openers over time.
Systeme.io assists with key deliverability features, but your content and list hygiene still dictate outcomes.
Troubleshooting Common Webinar Funnel Issues
Even well-crafted funnels sometimes hit snags. Use this guide to pinpoint and fix the most frequent problems.
Problem | Likely Cause | How to Fix |
---|---|---|
Low registration conversion | Unclear value proposition, cluttered form, slow page | Tighten the headline, reduce fields, compress images, A/B test hero section |
High registration, low attendance | Long delay until the session, weak reminders, time-zone mismatch | Add just-in-time option, increase reminder frequency, confirm local time on thank you page |
Poor replay views | Replay window not communicated or too short/too long | Send a clear replay email with a specific deadline and benefit-driven subject line |
Few clicks on CTA during webinar | CTA appears too early/late, weak offer positioning | Sync CTA with pitch timing, make the button visually prominent, recap benefits before the button |
Cart abandonment | Checkout friction, missing payment options, weak trust | Offer multiple payments (Stripe + PayPal), simplify fields, add trust badges/testimonials |
No-show tags not applying | Incorrect automation triggers for attendance | Tag based on “join” link clicks; ensure links are unique and tracked |
Emails going to spam | Weak sending reputation, content triggers, missing authentication | Set SPF/DKIM/DMARC, rework copy, warm up domain, prune inactive contacts |
Video not playing smoothly | Hosting/embedding issues, large file sizes | Use a reliable host (Vimeo/YouTube), ensure responsive settings, compress video |
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Systeme.io run live webinars on its own?
Not as a streaming host. You handle the live video via YouTube Live, Zoom, or another tool, and Systeme.io handles registration, emails, pages, and sales. You can embed or link the live stream from your Systeme.io pages.
Can you build evergreen (automated) webinars natively?
Yes. Use the Evergreen Webinar funnel type. You schedule sessions, set reminders, embed a pre-recorded video, and control replays and deadlines. This feature is available on specific paid plans, typically the “Webinar” tier and higher.
Is there simulated chat or polls inside the evergreen webinar?
Systeme.io focuses on the page and funnel experience. Chat simulation and interactive polls are not native evergreen features. If you need simulated engagement elements, you can embed third-party widgets or consider a specialist evergreen webinar platform for that layer.
Can you track who attended an evergreen webinar?
You can approximate attendance by tagging contacts who click the “join” link or who visit the webinar page via tracked links. Systeme.io doesn’t provide detailed watch-time analytics natively, so treat a join click or page visit as a proxy for attendance.
How do you enforce a deadline in an evergreen funnel?
Use scarcity timers on pages, redirect to an expired page after a set window, and align email reminders with that timeline. For strict, synchronized deadlines across multiple pages and emails, consider connecting a third-party deadline tool.
Can you sell directly during the webinar?
Yes. Place a timed CTA on the webinar page that links to a Systeme.io order page with order bumps and upsells. Connect Stripe and/or PayPal to process payments.
Are evergreen webinars included on the Free plan?
Historically, evergreen webinars are not part of the Free plan and typically unlock on the “Webinar” plan and above. Pricing and inclusions can change, so check the latest details on Systeme.io’s site.
Does Systeme.io host video for webinars?
You can embed videos hosted on YouTube or Vimeo. Some paid tiers allow you to upload files directly. For best performance and analytics, many users prefer Vimeo for evergreen videos and YouTube Live for live events.
Can you run affiliate promotions for your webinar?
Yes. Systeme.io includes an affiliate program feature. You can provide affiliates with links to your webinar registration page and pay commissions on resulting sales.
How do you handle time zones?
Systeme.io’s evergreen webinar scheduler displays sessions in the registrant’s local time. Always confirm the time on your thank you page and in your reminder emails.
Final Verdict: Does Systeme.io Support Webinars and Evergreen Funnels?
You can confidently run evergreen webinars in Systeme.io using its native Evergreen Webinar funnel type. You’ll get registration pages, automated reminders, a timed webinar room, replay control, and integrated checkout with order bumps and upsells. For live sessions, you bring your own live-stream tool (e.g., YouTube Live or Zoom) and use Systeme.io for all the funnel and follow-up pieces, maintaining control of your brand and sales process.
If your business model leans heavily on automated presentations that sell 24/7, the “Webinar” plan and above is where you’ll find what you need. You get a streamlined setup that consolidates landing pages, email automation, payments, and affiliate management under one roof. For advanced live interaction and microscopic engagement analytics, pair Systeme.io’s funnel builder with a dedicated webinar platform via embed or links.
