🔧 AEvent Functions: What They Do & When to Use Them

Updated over 3 weeks ago

These functions are action tools inside AEvent’s visual timeline builder. Think of them as power moves you can trigger during (or after) an event — to automate next steps, segment behavior, or personalize the attendee journey.

1. Add Another Event

What it does:
Creates an additional Zoom/Webinar/Stream session within the same timeline.
This is used to run multi-session timelines, such as:

  • 3-day challenges

  • Masterclasses/workshops with multiple parts

  • Encore events (without using the Encore tool)

Use Cases:

  • Running a multi-day bootcamp every Monday–Wednesday.

  • Splitting content into Part 1 (training) and Part 2 (sales Q&A).

  • Automating recurring coaching calls that follow a webinar series.

Pro Tip: Use “Add Another Event” instead of separate timelines so that registrants stay tracked under a single journey.


2. Delete System Wide

What it does:
Deletes all scheduled occurrences of the selected timeline across all upcoming sessions.

Use Cases:

  • You’re retiring a campaign and don’t want it running anymore.

  • A webinar funnel needs to be paused immediately (e.g., offer expired, wrong date, tech issue).

  • You mistakenly scheduled too many recurring sessions.

WARNING:
This is irreversible and affects all scheduled sessions using that timeline. Use cautiously.


3. Encore Timeline

What it does:
Creates a follow-up event (Encore) for non-attendees or partial attendees — either immediately or a day later.

It’s a shortcut for duplicating a webinar experience and running it again to just the right audience.

Use Cases:

  • Non-attendees get invited to a “last chance” replay 24 hours later.

  • Partial viewers who didn’t stay till pitch-time get nudged into another showing.

  • You want to extend campaign ROI without re-sending to buyers or full attendees.

Best Practice:
Segment encore invitations with behavioral targeting like:

  • Time attended

  • CTA visibility

  • Visit but didn’t purchase (page view but not confirmation)


4. Update Custom Fields (CRM/ESP)

What it does:
Pushes updates to your connected CRM or email platform. You can modify custom fields based on user behavior — without needing Zapier or middleware.

Use Cases:

  • Send real-time personalization fields like {NextSessionTime} to ActiveCampaign or Keap.

  • Tag registrants based on engagement: watched CTA vs. bailed early.

  • Update CRM with webinar session attended, pitch seen, or product clicked.

Integrated Platforms Include:

  • ActiveCampaign

  • Infusionsoft/Keap

  • HighLevel (via webhook)

  • HubSpot

  • Ontraport

  • And more


Example:
“If user watched 40+ minutes and visited sales page but didn’t convert → update CRM custom field: WebinarStatus = HotLead.”


Suggested Workflow Example:

Let’s say you're running a 3-day challenge:

  • Use Add Another Event to structure all 3 days in one timeline.

  • Set up Encore Timeline to catch non-attendees and partial viewers.

  • Use Update Custom Fields to score or segment leads in your CRM based on how much they watched.

  • If plans change, use Delete System Wide to quickly unschedule everything.
