AStream is AEvent's own Like-Live Delivery Platform.

Unlike most Webinar / Event-based platforms, we support multiple options for your 'Delivery Platform' with our pick of choice being AStream!

Providing you a solution to run your Events at a high frequency OR always in alignment with the lead and their Time Zone.

Since AStream isn't attached to an actual scheduled Event (unlike our Zoom / GoToWebinar / Obvio integrations). AStream enables you to schedule your Timeline to always display the options you want the Registrant to see, regardless of their Time Zone or time of day.

Timeline Actions:

Adding AStream Integration to AEvent

In order to add AStream to your AEvent account, you will need to first navigate to Integrations, click Add Integration, and then search / select AStream.


Then, name your integration as you see fit and click 'Add.'

When you click on 'Add,' AStream is now set up for use within your AEvent account.

A successful connection will yield a positive test result. Congratulations, AStream is now successfully connected and ready for use in your AEvent account!

Configuring your AStream Integration within a Timeline

In order to utilize your AStream Integration within AEvent, you need to activate it within the timeline you are working with. To do this, open the timeline you are working with.

Then select Integrations and set your AStream Integration as Active. After verifying AStream as your delivery platform, click on the cogwheel to define your 'Stream Viewer' Settings.

Creating a Timeline Action to send an Automatic Chat MSG to Attendees

Want to set up a timeline action to automatically send a chat message to the live attendees at any point during your AStream Event?

Within the timeline builder, start by creating an action selecting the date and time that you wish the action to occur. You MUST select After, and then define hours and minutes that fall within your Video time span (this action will not be selectable if you've defined an action time that falls outside of the actual Event).

Select AStream as the integration type and Auto Chat to Audience as the action.

In our example, we've used the "from" name to be Support, and we've used the First Name personalization field option to customize that message.

Once you've created your message, just click on Create.

Your Auto Chat Action has now been created, and you can view it on your timeline.

Per the example above, 5 minutes after the event starts, an action will occur that will send a message to all attendees on the Event.


BONUS: Simulate Live Questions and Answers through the use of our Auto Chat tool. Use the 'Replying to' field so not only does the Attendee see the Question being sent from another 'Attendee,' but they also see the reply from Support.

By implementing the Intelligent use of this feature, you can help overcome natural and common objections through automations, helping enrich that Like-Live experience.


Creating a Timeline Action to display a CTA Popup to your Live AStream Viewer

By creating a CTA Popup action, you can display a Call to Action Popup to your live viewer at any time during your Event. Three different types are supported with examples shown below.

Within the timeline builder, start by creating an action selecting the date and time that you wish the action to occur. You MUST select After, and then define hours and minutes that fall within your Video time span (this action will not be selectable if you've defined an action time that falls outside of the actual Event).

CTA Side Bar Popup:

After clicking on Create, your action will be created and viewable on your timeline.

Below is an example of our Side Bar Popup inside AStream based on the action we set up above. (click to enlarge)

In the example above, we've selected Hide Popup -> Enabled. By selecting this, the popup will display until the end of the presentation.

If you want to hide a popup after a certain timespan, you can define that with Hide Popup. In the example below, the popup will show at the 35-minute mark and disappear at the 50-minute mark.

Below, we have Popup action examples and the visual result using our two other CTA Popup types.

CTA Lower Third Popup:

Below is an example of our Lower Third Popup inside AStream based on the action we set up above. (click to enlarge)

CTA Presenter Level Popup:

How to remove AStream from AEvent

You will then be prompted to confirm deletion.

(NOTE: Removing this integration will immediately affect its use with any timelines that it is active in.)

Once you confirm removal, the integration within AEvent no longer exists.
