WebEx is a web conferencing app that allows you to coordinate virtual meetings with potentially hundreds of guests. You can invite leads to sign up for webinars by adding a WebEx field to a SharpSpring Dynamic Form. 

While connecting WebEx to SharpSpring is a one-time process, only the WebEx Event Center Edition can connect to SharpSpring. This article provides information on integrating WebEx with SharpSpring.
