What Is the Difference Between Free and Paid Plugins?

Marketing Plugins connect your webinar with external email marketing, CRM, automation, conversion-tracking, and webhook services. Each plugin includes a free registration event. Paid plugin access adds event-based automation for activity that happens during or around the webinar.

Free Plugins

Free plugins are also referred to as Basic plugins in the app.

They are suitable when you only need to send a registrant’s information to a connected platform.

With a free plugin, you can:

Send registration details, such as a registrant’s name and email address.
Pass supported webinar details and custom fields.
Trigger a workflow when someone registers.
Add a registrant to a supported list or campaign, depending on the integration.

For example, you can use a free plugin to send new registrants to your email marketing platform when they register for your webinar.

Paid Plugins

Paid plugins are also referred to as Advanced plugins in the app.

They are designed for workflows that depend on what happens after someone registers. Depending on the integration, paid plugins can respond to events such as:

Someone attends, misses, or watches the replay.
Someone stays until, leaves before, or joins after a specific number of minutes.
Someone views or clicks a call to action.
Someone purchases a product or completes a conversion.
A replay becomes available or is about to expire.
A specific amount of time remains before the webinar, such as 48 hours, 24 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours, 1 hour, 15 minutes, or 5 minutes.
Someone submits a supported lead-capture or two-step opt-in form.

The actions available after each event depend on the integration. These may include adding or removing tags, adding or removing contacts from lists or campaigns, triggering a Zap, sending an HTTP webhook, or sending a conversion event.

Which Plugin Should I Use?

Choose the Free version if registration is the only event your workflow needs.

Choose the Paid version if your workflow depends on attendance, missed webinars, replay viewing, engagement, time-based triggers, calls to action, purchases, lead capture, or another event beyond registration.

Paid plugin access is billed as an add-on for plans other than Power. Power plan users receive Advanced Plugin access as part of their plan. The available events and actions still depend on the selected integration.

Where to Find Your Marketing Plugins

Log in to your StealthSeminar account.
Open the account menu.
Select Marketing Plugins.
Open the plugin you want to connect or manage.
Complete the connection using the provider’s authentication method or API credentials.
To use the connection in a webinar, open the webinar and select Plugins.
Select the connected integration and configure the available event and action.

The account-level page is labeled Marketing Plugins, while plugin rules for an individual webinar are configured from the webinar’s Plugins tab.

Test & Verification

Use a test contact to confirm that the selected plugin access and configuration are working correctly.

Open the relevant webinar and select Plugins.
Select the connected integration.
Confirm that the intended event and action are available.
For a Free plugin, submit a test registration using an email address you can access.
Confirm that the contact and any supported webinar fields arrive in the connected platform.
For a Paid plugin, test an event beyond registration, such as attendance, a call-to-action click, or a supported replay event.
Confirm that the configured action runs in the connected platform.

Some events are not immediate. Missed-webinar, leave-before, stay-until, and join-after events may be processed after the webinar ends. Replay events also depend on replay availability. Test only the events and actions shown for the selected integration.

Common Issues & Solutions

Symptom	Root Cause	Resolution
The contact is not added after registration.	The plugin connection, destination list, or field mapping is incomplete.	1. Open Account menu > Marketing Plugins. 2. Confirm that the connection is active. 3. Check the destination list and required fields in the connected platform. 4. Submit another test registration.
Registration works, but attendance or engagement events are unavailable.	The account has Free access, or the event is not supported by that integration.	1. Check the plugin access level in your subscription or billing settings. 2. Confirm that the event is listed for the selected integration. 3. Upgrade the plugin if the event is supported but requires Paid access.
The event is available, but the action you need is missing.	Actions vary between integrations.	1. Review the actions displayed for the selected plugin. 2. Choose a supported action. 3. If the action is not available, use another supported action or integration.
A Public Webinar does not send registrant data to a plugin.	Public Webinars do not collect normal attendee registration data and do not support marketing plugins.	Use a webinar type that collects attendee identity, such as an Automated Webinar or Dedicated Replay.
The plugin is connected, but no rule appears in the webinar editor.	The connection has not been configured for that webinar, or the webinar type does not support plugins.	1. Open the webinar. 2. Select Plugins. 3. Select the connected integration. 4. Add the available event and action, then save the configuration.
