I had this working, but then updated to Firefox 9. I now get;

This was not intended to work for meetings.

i use the “Meetings” part of GoToMeeting, not Webinars. In otherwords my page say MyMeetings, not MyWebinars. the link does not work for this, am i missing something or is it not intended to?

Great idea! But I am having trouble.
I have followed the instructions with great detail, but when I click on the Bookmarklet in the Mac Firefox toolbar, nothing happens. I don’t see the MC GoToWebinar prompt. I exited MC, logged in again, but still no way to link a campaign to GTW.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ella, Sorry, but we wouldn’t know if we’re the only option out there.

Doe Gotowebinar not have any sort of built-in option to email registrants? I’m trying to send a reminder and don’t see any options at this point. Is this Mail Chimp program my only option?

I’m with Michael on this one.

Sending the invitations is not a problem. Just copying URL’s into our current templates works fine.

The big issue is following up with webinar attendees and those that registered but did not attend.

Now, THAT would be a cool integration!

Cheers,

David

Hi Ben. Wow. The list of integrations you guys keep coming out with astounds me. Keep the innovation rolling ..

The GoToWebinar/MailChimp integration is something I have been hoping for (seeing as the GoToWebinar registration system creates a ‘silo’ database and lots of ensuing data entry to update one’s CRM database after a webinar).

My question for you … your blog article refers to sending out *invitations* for a webinar but makes no reference to whether GoToWebinar registrant details (entered into the GoToWebinar Registration Form for a webinar) find their way back into the MailChimp database? For example, if a person registers for a webinar and they are not in the linked MailChimp list, does a new contact get added to that list in MailChimp? Or for existing users, does the registration find its way back into the AIM Activity History for that List Member?

I assume not, seeing as you didn’t mention that, but I just thought I’d check.

I was just about to test using EventBrite as a better webinar registration system than GoTo’s own silo system, but if MailChimp and GoToWebinar could integrate to the degree I’ve described above, that could save an additional layer of complexity (of using EventBrite as well).

Any tips you might have to achieve a simple webinar invitation and registration system would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
