GTWRegister – GoToWebinar Registration

This WordPress plugin background registers folks for a GoToWebinar right from your WordPress site.

Installation:

  1. Download the plugin from inside your WordPress site
  2. Activate
  3. Optionally configure using the Settings link on the plugins page

Usage:

  1. Use the [gtwregister] shortcode to register folks
  2. Make sure you pass URL Parameters to this page, i.e. from a registration form. Required parameters are the First Name, Last Name, Email, GoToWebianrID and optionally a Phone Number. You can specify alternate mappings if needed by going to the settings page.

Things You’ll Need:

  1. A webinar registration/squeeze/optin page
  2. Something to capture opt-ins (like Infusionsoft) if you want to capture the opt-ins outside of GoToWebinar
  3. A thank you page after someone registers
  4. A GoToWebinar setup

Examples:

Let’s assume you have an opt-in form on your registration page. First, make sure you’re capturing first AND last name as well as the email address. Ask for a phone number, too, if you like.

Configure the opt-in form to go to our CRM and/or ESP if you want to capture the names there, too. (This is a good idea). If not, you can simply have the form submit right to your thank you page.

If you’re using an opt-in form, setup the thank you page redirect to be your thank you page and make sure you enable the option to pass along the contact information from the opt-in to the thank you page.

On your thank you page, either hardcode the GoToWebinarID into your shortcode [ gtwregister gtwid="3493928439"] or pass it along as one of the parameters from the opt-in form (if people can choose which webinar they want to attend, for example.)
