GoToWebinar Integration for CiviCRM Events

Overview

CiviCRM Events can be integrated with GoToWebinar.

Installation

  • Install the extension in CiviCRM. More details here about installing extensions in CiviCRM.
  • Configure GoToWebinar details in Events >> GoToWebinar Settings (civicrm/gotowebinar/settings?reset=1)

Screenshot of GoToWebinar Settings

  • Create an "app" on the GoToWebinar apps page. Setup Redirect URL : [https://yourwebsite.com]/civicrm/gotowebinar/settings. (replace yourwebsite.com with your website domain)
  • Copy the Client Key and Consumer Secret into the settings page in CiviCRM.
  • You will also need to use the username and password to log into the GoToWebinar website. The username and password will not be saved in CiviCRM.
  • The authentication will get refreshed occassionally. It will attempt to reauthenticate when trying to fetch webinar information on event pages and on the settings page. If you see a notice that GoToWebinar is disconnected, first try to refresh the settings page. If that doesn't work you may need to provide your username and password again. That should be rare.
  • After a successful authentication, a list of upcoming webinars will be fetched and displayed on the screen. (Note: first name, last name & email are the only fields that get pushed to the webinar for now. Webinars with additional mandatory fields will not get participants added from CiviCRM.)
