Recurrent events with GoToWebinar or other event partners

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'd like to create a recurrent webinar using Marketo Integration.
I don't think GoToWebinar supports this as it won't allow this option and require to create a program per event.

Does anybody know if there's another event partner that supports recurrent meetings / webinars?

Thanks!

From what I can tell this isn't supported by any event partners.

Here is one possible workaround:

Thanks Steven, I've seen this workaround, but it doesn't state how to sync with GoToWebinar - just the way to do this in Marketo.. do you happen to know how to connect the form he has suggested with their form? (as I understand the Integration is not working...)

Thanks a lot!

Yifat, the integration between Marketo and GTW was working the last time I checked (yesterday).  Are you not able to select GoToWebinar in the Event Settings?  If so, you need to install the GTW Adapter.  Currently Marketo only passes First Name, Last Name and Email Address to GTW, regardless of which fields are in your form.  They hope to add more fields in the near future, including Company Name and Job Title.  However, there is no provision for passing a webinar date to GTW, but if you send the confirmation and reminder emails from Marketo, that shouldn't matter.  What does matter is the confirmation and reminder emails will need to include the GTW Webinar ID and their Registration Code.  Not sure if you can keep re-using / re-scheduling the same GTW event once it's passed.  You cannot select a new GTW event from a Marketo event once the event has members.

Hi Elliott,

Thanks for your response. I know the integration is working as we've used it many times, however, we're trying to create a weekly recurrent event in GoToWebinar and THAT is not working using Marketo-GoToWebinar integration... I've just spoke to their support and they don't support that with GoToWebinar nor in any other event partners 😞

I guess the only way is to create the webinars one by one every week...
