GoToWebinar Simulated Live Integration

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?

Hi -- Does anyone have an update on this?  I am trying to promote a 'recorded' go to webinar via Marketo. Does this integration work yet or no? Thanks.

Any update here? I am thinking about switching to ON24 but preference is to stick with GTW.

There isn't a direct integration. You need to use a webhook like Zapier and create the push/pull from GoToWebinar simulated live to marketo. 

From earlier in this thread, there are instructions which I found helpful:

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.

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: 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: -

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.

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?

Just chiming in as another interested party.

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!

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.

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.
