A challenge is a run of 2 to 14 daily webinars at the same time each day. Visitors sign up once and are enrolled in every day. Each person gets a personal hub page with a countdown, a ticket for each day and their replays.
Use a challenge when your content builds from one session to the next, such as a 5-day launch sprint that ends with an offer. Use a webinar when one session stands on its own and you want it to keep running on a schedule.
How a challenge differs from a webinar
| Webinar | Challenge | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs | On repeating schedules, specific dates, just-in-time or on demand | Once, on consecutive calendar days at one local time |
| Sign-up | The visitor picks a session | The form lists every day. There is nothing to pick |
| After sign-up | Thank-you page | Personal hub page |
| Link in emails | The person’s join link | The person’s hub link |
| Moving a seat | Attendees can switch to another session | Not available. Everyone attends together |
| Publishing | Each webinar on its own | The whole challenge together. Days can’t be published alone |
| Unsubscribing | One registration | The whole challenge |
How the pieces fit
A challenge has two levels, and you set up different things at each one.
| Level | What you set here | Where |
|---|---|---|
| The challenge | Dates, time, presenter, sign-up page, hub, tracking for the sign-up page and hub, publishing | Challenges → your challenge |
| Each day | Video, waiting room, timeline, offers, polls, chat, replay and emails | Room & video on that day’s card |
Each day is a full webinar underneath, so everything in the webinar set-up guides applies to it. A few webinar steps don’t apply to a day. Set up each day lists which ones.

With no challenges yet, the page shows No challenges yet and a Create your first challenge button.
Challenges also appear under Webinars & challenges on your dashboard. Each day appears in your Webinars list too, named like 5-Day Launch Challenge — Day 1 with the status Draft. That status is normal: a day never gets published by itself.
Set up a challenge
Set up every day
Add a video to each day, then build its room. Every day needs a working video before you can publish.
Write the sign-up page and hub
Check the emails
Review what goes out and when. The defaults are written for a single session, so they’re worth rewriting.
