HeySummit has a native GoToWebinar integration. Once a GoToWebinar host account is connected, HeySummit can create and manage GoToWebinar sessions for your live talks.
Connect GoToWebinar as a webinar host
From your HeySummit dashboard, go to Event Settings > Integrations & Developer > External Webinar Accounts.
Create or choose the host record that should own the GoToWebinar webinars.
Choose GoToWebinar and follow the connection steps to authorize the account.
After the account is connected, HeySummit automatically creates webinars for live talks that use that host. HeySummit also turns off GoToWebinar notification emails for those webinars so attendee messaging can be handled from HeySummit.
Use GoToWebinar on a talk
Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.
Open the session’s Actions menu and choose Manage Session.
On the Broadcast step, set Broadcast Type to Live broadcast.
Choose GoToWebinar as the provider, select the GoToWebinar account holder, and keep Create a new GoToWebinar webinar unless you need another creation mode.
Save the talk.
HeySummit will create or sync the GoToWebinar webinar and store the host, speaker, and attendee join details for the talk.
Attendee flow
Attendees should use the HeySummit schedule, talk page, or event emails to join. Depending on your event settings, email buttons may send attendees to the HeySummit talk page or directly to the provider join link. When a provider join link is required, HeySummit registers attendees with GoToWebinar and uses their attendee-specific join URL.
Before going live
Connect or reconnect the GoToWebinar host before the event if the host shows an authentication error.
Save and preview the talk after assigning the host so HeySummit has time to create and sync the webinar.
Check your speaker and host join links before the session starts.
