By Kaylee Moser · November 18, 2022

These days, remote meetings and events are more common than ever. From company all-hands to product demos to conventions, people are used to gathering online. GoTo Webinar is a virtual event platform with tons of options to customize, analyze, and scale those events.

But when you use automation to seamlessly share data between GoTo Webinar and the other tools in your tech stack, there's even more you can do. By pairing GoTo Webinar with Zapier, you can automatically share webinar attendee information with your other business apps, gather registrant data, and register attendees from a variety of sources, all without lifting a finger. 

Here are the top ways Zapier users automate GoTo Webinar to scale their events.

GoTo Webinar is a premium app—available on Zapier's paid plans. Learn more about premium apps.

To get started with a Zap template—what we call our pre-made workflows—just click on the button. It only takes a few minutes to set up. You can read more about setting up Zaps here.

Automatically register webinar attendees

Whether you add your webinar registrants from a form, spreadsheet, or CRM, Zapier has you covered. By setting up a Zap—our word for Zapier's automated workflows—you'll never need to type registrant information into GoTo Webinar manually.

Add registrants from forms

Not only are they easy to set up, but forms are a great way to collect information about your customers while registering them for your events. Cut a step out of your event management workflow by automatically adding registrants to GoTo Webinar from your form submissions. That way, you can easily track of who's attending your events, no matter where they sign up.

Turn on this integration to have Zapier log every new respondent you get on Unbounce as an event registrant on GoTo Webinar, so you can be sure they'll all be set up when the time comes.

        Add registrants from other lead sources

        While your sales team might be the ones focusing on lead generation, it's also a great opportunity to find customers interested in your webinars. With these Zaps, you can automatically create GoTo Webinar registrants based on new leads in your lead gen app of choice.

            Add registrants from spreadsheets

            You usually can't go wrong with a spreadsheet, and sometimes, Google Sheets is the best way to collect customer information. This is especially true if you're gathering info from a variety of sources. Use a Zap to automatically add new GoTo Webinar registrants from a Google Sheet, so no attendees slip through the cracks.

            Add GoTo Webinar registrants from new Google Sheets spreadsheet rows

With this automation, Zapier will add GoTo Webinar registrants to your event when rows are updated in a selected Google Sheets spreadsheet. Best of all, this integration means you can add all of the people you invite, and they won't get registered until you update the row!

                Add registrants from CRMs

                Your team has put in a lot of work to build out customer information in your CRM—don't let it go to waste. With these Zaps, you can automatically invite your CRM contacts to your webinar, which is a great way to reengage disengaged customers or drive deeper engagement with existing ones.

                Register new Eventbrite attendees for GoTo Webinar webinars

                • Eventbrite logo

                Eventbrite + GoTo Webinar
                More details
                  Rather than hassling with CSV files to register attendees for a GoTo Webinar webinar, use Zapier to start automatically importing them. Once you set up this Eventbrite-GoTo Webinar integration, new event attendees from that point forward are registered for the webinar.

                  Create GoTo Webinar registrants from new ActiveCampaign contacts added to lists

                  • ActiveCampaign logo

                      Add webinar attendees to your email marketing

                      When people sign up to attend your events, it can be useful to stay in touch with them after. Maybe there's a follow-up event you're hosting, or you have a coupon to offer your attendees. No matter the reason, automation is the best way to keep in contact.

                      Individually emailing every person from an event or manually importing their email addresses into your email marketing tool limits how much follow-up you can do and makes it easy to make copy/paste errors. Instead, let Zapier automatically import the contact information of your webinar registrants or attendees into your favorite email marketing app to more easily scale your efforts and reduce errors.

                      Add new GoTo Webinar registrants to ActiveCampaign as new subscribers

                              Webinars are a great way to attract new customers or reengage existing ones, but keeping track of which stage of the funnel your attendees fall in can get tricky. Adding webinar registrants and attendees to your CRM is key to making sure everyone on your team knows what outreach customers have received—or still need to receive.

                              With Zapier, you can easily export these contacts to the CRM of your choice. You can also find and update current contacts in your CRM or add a tag to your contact to show they've attended a webinar. All of this data is useful for interacting with your customers in the future.

While GoTo Webinar does provide powerful in-app analytics, sometimes it's useful to export data into a spreadsheet for further use. For example, if some members of your team don't have access to GoTo Webinar or if you collect data from multiple sources in one spot, you might use a spreadsheet as a source of truth for your data.
