The problem it solves

Right now anyone can register for your webinar or training multiple times, and you have no easy way to catch it. You end up manually checking spreadsheets or sending confirmation emails one by one, and duplicate signups clutter your numbers.

Who it fits

Anyone running webinars or training sessions with limited seats who wants to enforce one signup per person.

How it works

  1. A new registration on your form triggers the process
  2. The system checks Airtable to see if this person already registered
  3. First-time registrants get a confirmation email right away
  4. Repeat registrants get a polite email letting them know they're already signed up
What you get

Every seat confirmed or declined without a mix-up

Every webinar signup gets checked automatically, with first-timers confirmed right away and repeat signups reminded they're already on the list.

What you get

An automatic confirmation or decline email sent to every registrant.

What you need

A Google account for the form, an Airtable base, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
