See which webinars in a series perform best
For marketers running a webinar series who want sessions compared on weighted numbers, by asking their AI assistant.

Connect GoTo Webinar, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Spreadsheet averages hide how a webinar series is trending
Comparing webinars in a series means exporting session numbers and working out attendance and retention rates in a spreadsheet. Small sessions skew the averages, and the trend across the series gets lost.
Without PopdockAI
- Export session numbers from GoTo Webinar
- Line them up in a spreadsheet by webinar
- Work out attendance and retention rates by hand
- Let small sessions skew the averages
With PopdockAI
- Every session matching the name term is read and grouped
- Rates are weighted by registrants
- Empty sessions are left out and counted
- Webinars are ranked with a rising, falling or flat trend

**Objective:** Compare the webinars whose names contain `{name-contains}` across their sessions in the last `{lookback-days}` days (default 180), rank them on turnout and engagement, and show the trend.
**Step 1: Pull the sessions**
Call `goto-webinar-get-session` with webinar-name.contains set to `{name-contains}`, date.from set to today minus the lookback days, date.to set to today, and max-records 1000.
**Step 2: Aggregate per webinar**
Group the sessions by webinar key (use webinar-name as the label). For each webinar compute:
* number of sessions
* average registrant-count and average registrants-attended
* attendance rate: total attended over total registered
* average average-attendance-time as a share of session length (end-time minus start-time)
* average average-attentiveness and average-interest-rating
* questions-asked per session
**Step 3: Rank and trend**
* Rank the webinars by attendance rate, then by attentiveness.
* For the series as a whole, compare the first half of the sessions (by date) with the second half on attendance rate and attentiveness, and say whether each is rising, falling or flat (within 5 points is flat).
**Step 4: Report**
* A one-line verdict naming the strongest and weakest webinar.
* A ranked table: Webinar, Sessions, Avg registered, Avg attended, Attendance %, Retention %, Attentiveness, Interest rating, Questions per session.
* The trend, in two sentences.
* Two or three observations on what the strongest webinars do differently, drawn only from the numbers.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Never call `goto-webinar-add-registrant` or `goto-webinar-delete-registrant`.
* Weight rates by registrants, not by session, so a tiny session does not skew a webinar's figure.
* Leave sessions with zero registrants out of every rate, and say how many you left out.
**Validation:**
* If fewer than two sessions match, say a comparison is not meaningful and report the one session's numbers instead.
* If `{name-contains}` is empty, ask for it before calling any tool.Who it's for
