Adding a GoToWebinar App

You must have a GoToWebinar license before proceeding with this integration.

To obtain GoToWebinar information and add a new app to GoToWebinar, do the following:

  
Important: SharpSpring has no control over how GoToWebinar grants application permission. GoToWebinar may change how permission is obtained at any time and without warning. These procedures are constantly changing. This procedure and all associated information may be outdated.

1. 

Log in to GoToWebinar's developer web page.

  

2. 

Click OAuth Clients in the top toolbar.

  

3. 

Click Create New Client.

  

4. 

Enter SharpSpring as a client name.

  

5. 

Enter the following URL in the Redirect URI field:

https://YourCompanyDomain.marketingautomation.services/settings/gotowebinar/save

6. 

Replace YourCompanyDomain with the domain you are using with SharpSpring in the entered URL.

7.

  • Admin Center

8. 

Click Save.

9. 

Save the following displayed information to your local machine or an external source:

Be aware that your Client Secret will be hidden once you leave the page. Your Client ID can be retrieved as necessary, however.
   


Integrating GoToWebinar

Once you have added a GoToWebinar app and obtained your client information, you can integrate GoToWebinar with SharpSpring.

Creating GoToWebinar Forms

After integrating GoToWebinar with SharpSpring, you will need to add the GoToWebinar field to a SharpSpring form to gather information on attendees. When a visitor finishes filling out the form, they will be registered for the associated webinar.

To create a connected form for GoToWebinar, do the following:

  1. In SharpSpring's top toolbar, click
    Content > Forms.
  2. Create or edit a form.
  3. In the form's Fields tab, click the Fields drop-down menu.
  4. Add the following fields:

       •   First Name
       •   Last Name
       •   Email
       •   Any other applicable fields
  5. Click the GoToWebinar drop-down menu.
  6. Select the webinar to add to the field.
  7. Click the Required checkbox for the following fields:

       •   First Name
       •   Last Name
       •   Email
       •   GoToWebinar
  8. Click Save Changes.

Important: The First Name, Last Name, and Email fields are all required. The registration will not be accepted if they are left out of the form.
 
Important: SharpSpring only displays live webinars. Recorded webinars are not supported.
 
Note: Do not make the GoToWebinar field hidden.
 

Once a form is created, be aware that changes to existing webinar names in GoToWebinar will require re-saving the form in SharpSpring to reflect the changes in the live version of the form.
