You just wrapped up an amazing webinar. Your attendees are still energized. The session was impactful. But within hours, that momentum fades. And so does your chance to collect meaningful feedback.
Here's a smarter way to run it: reward attendees who fill out your feedback survey with an instant, verifiable digital certificate. Automatically!
No manual work. No chasing people. No waiting days to send certificates.
This is exactly what Wauld enables. Our customers across the globe report saving 10 to 15 hours of effort per event thanks to this automation.
The Problem with Traditional Post-Webinar Surveys
Most organizers send a feedback survey after their webinar. Some get a 10 to 20% response rate if they're lucky. Why? Because there's nothing in it for the attendee.
You need their feedback to improve. They don't have a strong incentive to give it. It's a classic engagement gap.
Now flip that equation.
The Solution: Certificates as an Incentive for Survey or Feedback
Wauld lets you set up an automation where:
Only genuine attendees who met your attendance criteria receive the survey link
Anyone who completes the survey automatically gets a branded, verifiable digital certificate, instantly, the moment they hit submit
The result? Higher survey completion rates. Richer data. Happier participants. And zero manual effort on your end.
How the Workflow Works
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the automation:
Step 1: Connect Your Webinar Platform
Wauld integrates with all major webinar platforms, including:
Demio
Livestorm
Crowdcast
BigMarker
eWebinar
...and more
Once connected, Wauld pulls attendance data directly from the platform after your session ends.
Step 2: Filter by Minimum Attendance Criteria
Not every registrant who showed up for two minutes deserves a certificate. Wauld lets you define what "genuine attendance" means for your event.
Examples:
Attended at least 50 out of 60 minutes of the webinar
Actively engaged via a poll, Q&A, or reaction during the session
Met a custom threshold you define
Only attendees who clear this bar move to the next step. Everyone else is filtered out automatically.
Step 3: Auto-Send the Survey Link
Qualifying attendees receive a personalized email with a link to your feedback survey, built on whichever survey tool you use.
Wauld integrates with all the popular options:
The email is branded, professional, and sent automatically. No copy-pasting. No mail merges.
Step 4: Survey Submitted, Certificate Issued Instantly
The moment an attendee submits the survey, Wauld's automation triggers and:
Generates a personalized, branded digital certificate
Delivers it to the attendee's inbox immediately
The certificate includes a unique QR code for instant verification
The attendee can add it to their LinkedIn profile with one click
No waiting. No batch processing at the end of the week. Instant gratification, which is exactly what drives completion rates up.

For You (The Organizer)

This is the very definition of a win-win: you get the feedback data you need, and they get meaningful professional recognition in return.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
We believe in full transparency. Here are some real-world nuances to be aware of before setting up this automation:
Integration availability depends on both platforms. This workflow works best when both your webinar platform and your survey tool support integration capabilities. Always verify this before setup.
Survey platform API access may vary by plan. Some survey tools (like SurveyMonkey or Typeform) only provide API access on paid plans. Make sure your current plan supports it.
Emails can occasionally land in spam. We recommend asking attendees to whitelist your sending domain. Sending from a verified custom domain via Wauld also helps significantly.
Email addresses must match across platforms. The email used to register for the webinar must match the one used to submit the survey. If they don't match, the certificate is held for manual review rather than being issued automatically. This protects the integrity of your credentialing program.
Some attendees may feel pressured by the survey requirement. Tying a certificate to survey completion works very well for most audiences, but a small number of attendees may feel uncomfortable being required to fill in a survey to receive recognition for their time. To manage this, we recommend being upfront about the requirement at the start of your event. Let attendees know that filling in a short feedback form is part of the completion criteria. Transparency goes a long way in turning a potential concern into a smooth, expected part of the experience.
