Moderator chat messages
Prepare chat messages the moderator posts at set moments, such as links to the resources on a slide.
On this page
Moderator chat messages are short messages you write in advance. The moderator posts them to the chat at a set moment in every session, for example a link to the report shown on a slide. They come from the moderator, under its name and with its AI badge if you show one. Webinaric never posts messages as fake attendees.
Where you can add them
Every part of the running order has its own Moderator chat messages list in the slides editor:
| Where | When the messages are posted |
|---|---|
| Intro | When the session starts |
| A content, poll or offer slide | When the slide starts |
| A Q&A slide | When the presenter asks for questions |
| Outro | When the outro starts |
Write messages
Click Add message and type, e.g. Read more at https://example.com. Add as many as you need; each one is posted as a separate chat message, in order. The × next to a message removes it. Messages save when you leave the field, and empty ones are dropped.
Write them as plain text. Links are clickable for attendees.
Good uses:
- On the intro: what to expect, and a nudge to ask questions in the chat.
- On a slide: the report, case study or docs page the slide refers to.
- On a Q&A slide: "Type your question in the chat 👇".
- On the outro: the booking page or a resources hub.
For your main call to action, use an offer slide instead. It pins a card with a button to the top of the chat for the rest of the session.
Links are tracked
Links in your chat messages become tracked links. Each click is counted for the session. Depending on your tracking settings, the destination is also tagged so your own analytics can see the traffic came from the webinar. UTM tags you've already put on a link are kept. See Tracked links and offers.
Messages and publishing
Chat messages are part of the draft. Attendees see your changes after you publish again.
