Configuring GoToWebinar Admin Setups

To integrate GoToWebinar with re:Members AMS events, steps must be completed both within GoToWebinar and within re:Members AMS.

GoToWebinar Developer Center Setup

To begin, you must have a GoTo developer account. The following steps must take place from the GoTo account:

  1. Go to the GoToWebinar Developer Center - and sign in using your standard GoToWebinar login credentials.
  2. Select My Apps in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click the Add a New App button.

  1. In the Add New App form, complete the following fields:
    1. App Name: The name of the app being created in GoToWebinar. It's recommended to use the name "re:Members AMS."
    2. Description: Create a short description for the app. For example, "re:Members AMS webinars."
    3. Product API: This is "GoToWebinar."
    4. Application URL: Use the re:Members AMSURL, "https://{clientURL}/pages/integrations/gotowebinaroauth.aspx". Replace the text "{clientURL}" in the URL above with your association's re:Members AMSdomain address. E.g., "https://members.abcassociation.com/pages/integrations/gotowebinaroauth.aspx.
    5. Save the new App.

Once the new App has been created in GoToWebinar, select it and obtain the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret codes. These codes must be entered into your instance of re:Members AMS and will allow re:Members AMS to communicate with your GoToWebinar account.

Note: If the re:Members AMS App was already created, the Application URL may need to be updated (see step 4d, above). To do this, select Edit for the App in GoToWebinar. A pop-up window will appear, in which the Application URL can be edited.

re:Members AMS GoToWebinar Integration Setup

Once the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret codes have been obtained (as described in the section above), they must be entered into your instance of re:Members AMS. This must be done by the re:Members AMS technical services team - reach out to (Undefined variable: General.SupportEmail) for assistance.

Once the key and secret codes have been entered by re:Members AMS:

  1. Clear the site cache by logging into re:Members AMS, clicking the My Profile drop-down, and selecting Clear Cache.
  2. Navigate to a virtual Event Record. If one does not exist, create a new Event Record and flag it as a virtual event. (In the Event Record > Details tab > Additional Info menu option, ensure the Virtual check box is clicked.) The Webinar Provider field will appear.
  3. In the Webinar Provider field, select GoToWebinar.
  4. Click the Authorize button next to the Webinar Provider field. A prompt to log in to GoToWebinar will appear.
    Once in GoToWebinar, click Allow to permit re:Members AMS access to the GoToWebinar account. Once done, the user is redirected back to re:Members AMS.

Once this final step is complete, a token in generated and passed to re:Members AMS. This token is viewable in the API settings for GoToWebinar, and the re:Members AMS/GoToWebinar integration is complete.
