Webflow Commenting for Webinar Q+A sections
Transform your webinars into interactive and dynamic learning experiences by using comments to interact with your audience in real-time.
Increased Audience Participation
A commenting feature encourages more attendees to participate, as it provides an easy and accessible way for them to voice their questions and comments, leading to a more inclusive and interactive session.
Valuable Feedback for Presenters
Real-time comments give presenters instant feedback on their content, allowing them to adjust their delivery or focus on topics that are generating the most interest or questions.
Fostering a Community Atmosphere
Commenting during webinars helps build a sense of community among attendees, as they can see and respond to each other's thoughts and questions, creating a more connected experience.
Content Enrichment Post-Webinar
The comments and questions raised during a webinar can be used to enrich the content in post-webinar materials, such as FAQs or follow-up articles, ensuring that the value of the webinar extends beyond the live session.
How it works
Add fully customizable commenting to a Webflow project. No coding is required; it's maintenance-free and comes with built-in moderation features, permission, user accounts, edit, delete, and reply functionality. Notifications, real-time commenting, and public profiles are in the roadmap.

Getting Started
We recommend starting with one of our cloneables - we've already released one for blog comments, one for live stream comments, and one for video comments. Click here for the full list of cloneable components.
Commenting will be a paid add-on - however, any paid Memberstack apps with at least one comment before January 1, 2024, will have raised limits on the free plan and heavily discounted pricing - for life!
Structure/Overview
There are something like 60 unique attributes in the commenting UI, so be very careful when updating the HTML structure. Frequent testing will be key to avoiding frustrating debugging sessions.
Each commenting section is called a "Channel" and has an attribute of data-ms-channel="". If the Channel ID is empty, then Memberstack will look to the page slug to decide where to save the comments, and when to load them. Inside of a channel are your posts and threads.
Public Custom Fields
Ensure that custom fields used in your commenting UI are marked as 'public'. This allows you to build your own usernames displayed with comments using the data attributes:
Note: If the field value is empty, the default text in your commenting UI will appear instead.
data-ms-post-creator="Your_Field_id"
data-ms-thread-creator="Your_Field_id"
Ordering Posts & Threads
Utilize the two available attributes to adjust the order as needed.
data-ms-channel-sort="newest" // default is oldest
data-ms-thread-sort="newest" // default is oldest
Pagination
Use the following attributes to set the maximum number of posts or threads to load at a time.
data-ms-post-load="100" // default 50 & max 100
data-ms-thread-load="100" // default 20 & max 100
Multiple Sections Per Page
If you want to display multiple commenting sections on a single page you'll need to manually set the Channel ID using the data-ms-channel="Your_Channel_ID" attribute.
Waiting for Moderation
If you enable moderation settings in the dashboard, or flag a comment as spam/hidden, we will display a message to the commenter. Place the following attributes on a div containing your "Wait for Moderation" prompt. Note there are 2 attributes. 1 for posts and 1 for threads.
data-ms-post="hidden"
data-ms-thread="hidden"
Constraints
Max character count for a post or thread is 5,000 characters.
Formatting is unavailable at this time.
Creating Moderators
In Memberstack's dashboard, admins can grant 'moderator' roles to members. Moderators have the authority to edit or delete any post, ensuring a clean and positive community environment.
Improved Conversion Rates
People writing comments are more engaged and exposed to positive feedback from other commenters, boosting the likelihood that they’ll follow calls to action.
Provides New Topics Your Audience Is Interested In
Discussions in the comment section often include topics your audience would like to know more about. Use these topics to create new content that’s likely to connect with your audience.
Keeps Your Content Fresh
The comment section streamlines minor content additions and clarification based on user feedback. This helps keep your content fresh without the burden of republishing.
Boosted Credibility and Trust
A busy comment section tells users your content is worth engaging with and provides social proof boosting trust in your brand.
