Webinar Attendance Funnel Reconciliation
Reconcile registration, actual attendance and later software activity using the correct webinar reports and explicit unknowns before claiming results.

When to use this template
Use this after a real webinar has ended and its reports are available. Establish the audience and reporting units before comparing them with later product activity.
Choose another approach when: You need only the invitation email, plan to call every registrant an attendee, or want to export unnecessary personal details to force a customer-level match.
Gather these inputs
- The actual event identifier, completed reporting window and permitted aggregate reports.
- Definitions for registrants, attendees, presenters and later product actions.
- Known unmatched categories, repeated joins and privacy-preserving reconciliation rules.

Worked example
Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.
Fictional example: a founder initially reports everyone registered for a demo as an attendee. The reconciliation replaces that assumption with the actual post-event attendance report and keeps presenter participation separate from the intended audience. Some attendance appears through room or dial-in routes and cannot be reliably matched to a signup. Those cases stay unmatched instead of being assigned to a convenient customer record. A report generated before the event is regenerated before interpretation. Later trial activity, if actually available, is another stage with its own conditions. This example contains no real attendance counts and does not prove that attending caused anyone to adopt the software.
How to use it
- Use post-event reports for the correct event and preserve each metric’s unit.
- Separate presenters, repeated joins and unmatched categories under explicit rules.
- Reconcile later product evidence only where supported and keep unmatched cases visible.
Check before using it
- Registrations and actual attendee records remain separate outcomes.
- A pre-event export is not treated as the final attendance report.
- No unnecessary personal export or guessed identity match fills a reporting gap.
What to measure
Track reconciliation errors and the share of evidence that remains unmatched within the actual report scope. Review delivery and useful audience actions separately from sales. This worksheet does not infer unique customers or causal acquisition impact from attendance alone.
Research and sources
Zoom distinguishes registration, attendance and engagement reports and recommends generating event data after completion. This original funnel reconciliation does not assume every reported join is a unique person or that platform attendance equals a product conversion.
