Hi community
We are organising Webinars on a regular basis and to promote them, we usually create landing pages with a registration form. As a global organisation, offices around the world are supposed to organised their webinar themselves.
In this context, we are creating templates for them to achieve their goals in few clicks, all this in Dynamics 365 for Marketing.
The idea here is to have a Marketing Landing page template and a registration Marekting form template in D365fM.
The steps would be:
- Creation of the Webinar reg form based on the template
- Creation of the Marketing page based on the template and selection of the previously creted form to fill the placeholder
- Publication of the landing page
That's it. easy and perfect in a global organisation.
BUT
We are facing few chalenges / problems:
- Most of the time, there are at least two dates / times for each webinar. Our issue here is to include in the registration form a dropdown list / radio buttons for the user to select the best date. But using a Marketing form, we cannot do this as it needs to be a field existing in the Contact / Lead entities.
- When someone registers to a webinar using a Marketing form, it's not considered as an Event. In the contact / lead insight, it's important to see that this person has attended to this or these webinars. There is no option to say: This Marketing form is a Event registration form.
- There is a real issue regarding the size limitation of the landing pages. The 65k character is a non sense and needs to be adjusted.
Now
One option should be to use the Events application but:
- There is no (simple) option to embed a registration form somewhere (be a Marketing page or in another CMS)
- If we use the portal, it's very difficult / complex to change the layout and there is no option of templates for the landing pages. It means that there is only one template for the event portal where as we need several. It's not flexible as Marketing pages can be.
- There is no option of landing page if we set the event as an online event
- It's a bit complex to use the event application for a simple webinar
What are the solutions?
