GoToWebinar Simulated Live Integration

Stephanie Ristow Jun 14, 2017 10:08 AM

Has anyone tried using GTW's simulated live beta with Marketo integration. Both GTW and Marketo confirmed that Marketo isn't supporting the beta version, but I'm not really sure how to test the program without the Marketo support. Any ideas?

Please provide more details. Did you speak with GTW about documentation?

  I spoke with GTW and Marketo and they both confirmed that Marketo is not yet supporting the GTW simulated live plugin unfortunately. In the meantime, we're just going to promote our past webinar on-demand.

    A product manager at Log Me in (GTW) informed me in May 2017 that this integration would be active the beginning of this quarter. Fingers crossed.

      Hey Ryan, any chance you've received an update from Marketo? It seems this is still not supported.

        Nothing. I follow up every 3 weeks but don't get responses.

Hey All,

Has there been any update to this? Looking to try and use marketo to promote a simulated live webinar as part of a test. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  I am having the same issues. Spoke with support at GoToWebinar today. They said that they expect to support simulated live webinars with Marketo registration by April or May 2018.

I'm testing the feature out now, and using Zapier to connect registrants between Marketo and GTW. It's not the most elegant solution, but I'm looking forward to trying it out!

any update on this one? I now have Marketing Managers wanting to use the new GTW functionality...but isn't this fundamentally a recording of a webinar - so we don't really need unique URLs for individuals to log in - or am i missing something?

I spoke to GTW support yesterday and they have just sent me this response -

Hello Michael,
They (meaning GTW) have finally rolled out Simulated Live support however it's only in v2 of our API. You'll need to reach out to Marketo and ensure that they've updated to v2 of our GoToWebinar API: https://goto-developer.logmeininc.com/gotowebinar-api-overview-v2

I spoke to Marketo Support and they said the best thing to do would be to add something here: -

"Simulated Live" Integration with Marketo

which is what I've done - and here's what I put, as well as the note above: -

This is important because we are running more and more webinars - less budget in Marketing, so more need to reuse resources - a webinar would be run, recorded and then scheduled in advance using Simulated Live - so it's a huge time saver for Marketing teams. It also allows us to reuse the webinar resource in multiple time zones without local Marketing teams needing to be there to set up/run/monitor/end the webinar...this is a 2018 must-have...

so I guess now everyone needs to vote for this and we'll see what Marketo do...

  YES thank you Michael, I have voted. We spoke to GTW about this in January and were told to sit tight, so hopefully we are nearly there.

  Thanks for the update Michael Collins - great news. I'm asking my team to vote.
  
  As an update - I've been using the Simulated live feature since February and connecting registrants from a Marketo Landing Page to GTW through Zapier - and it works! It's been great, and once set up, it's automated. It just takes a little bit of tweaking when a new webinar is set up.
  
  I would still prefer to see Marketo support this though, because it's WAY more simple to set up

    Hi Rachel,
    Currently running into this problem now, can you possible share a step-by-step on how you did it using Zapier? What's the trigger and what did the action convert to? Any help is appreciated, thanks Rachel!

    @Rachel . Seems like this is a popular one. Could you please tell us how was the zapier from Marketo to GTW? At the moment only works with new leads but not for existing leads. Appreciate your help.

      The only way I could get it to work was by setting it up through a webhook. So once the lead registers on your Marketo page, you would call the webhook that's connected to your Zap.

        Can you be more specific? Trying to set this up now but still unsure how to set it up given the Zapier options I see available.
        
        Thanks!!!

        For the trigger in Zapier, I used "catch hook" and then "create registrant" as the action in GTW. In Marketo, you'll need to follow the Zapier documentation to create a webhook. So, when someone registers on your Marketo LP, you would have a smart campaign listening for the form fill, and then would trigger the webhook in the flow. The webhook would then trigger in Zapier and create the lead in GTW.

  How has it been this long and Marketo STILL hasn't updated to version 2 of GTW's API? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
