## Messages to send Mindie
- Attending: "Remind me on Wednesday at 12:50pm to join the pricing strategy webinar at 1pm"
- Different timezone: "Remind me 10 minutes before the webinar on November 12 at 11am Eastern time"
- Hosting: "Remind me before my webinar on December 3 at 2pm, I need to test slides and audio"

A webinar reminder on WhatsApp is a message just before the session starts, ideally with the link inside. With Mindie you set it in a line: "remind me on Wednesday at 12:50pm to join the pricing strategy webinar at 1pm". At 12:50 on Wednesday, it's in your chat.

Webinar sign-ups are easy and showing up is hard. The confirmation email gets buried, the time is in another timezone, and you remember an hour after it ended.

## When to be reminded

- **Ten minutes before,** to find the link and grab headphones.
- **The day before,** if there's pre-reading or you need to clear your calendar.
- **An hour before, if you're hosting,** to test audio, slides and screen sharing.

## Why webinars get missed

- **Timezones trip people up.** 11am Eastern isn't 11am where you are.
- **The link is buried** in an email you can't find.
- **It's optional,** so anything urgent pushes it aside.

## Habits that help

- **Paste the link into the reminder,** so you can tap and join.
- **Screenshot the confirmation** and send it to Mindie straight away.
- **Note what you learned.** Send key points as a note during or after the session.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send the time, timezone and link,** or a screenshot of the sign-up email.
2. **Mindie confirms** the reminder in your local time.
3. **It messages you** at that time with what you included.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't register you** or join the session.
- **It doesn't message attendees or hosts.**
- **It doesn't record or summarize the webinar.** Your notes are what you send it.

## FAQ

### What if the webinar is in another timezone?
Tell Mindie the time and the timezone, like "11am Eastern". It converts it and reminds you at the right local time.

### Can I send a screenshot of the registration email?
Yes. Send a screenshot and Mindie sets the reminder from the date and time in it. Check what it confirms.

### Can Mindie remind my attendees?
No. Mindie only messages you. Use your webinar platform for attendee reminders.

### Can I save the joining link?
Yes. Include it in the reminder, so you can open it right from the message.

### How early should the reminder be?
Ten minutes is usually enough to join. Add one the day before if you need to prepare or block your calendar.
