GoToWebinar Tokens {{member.registration code}} and {{member.webinar url}}

Hello!

I learned today - better late then never, right? - that there's a token {{member.registration code}} which is returned by your event adapter. I had hoped I could use that token to create the unique GoToWebinar Calendar Link instead of using the Marketo Calendar token. But I'm confused...

Here are real life values that these two tokens return:

Attendee Link: https://global.gotowebinar.com/join/5653334030632758787/403649679

Registration Code: 6173238104416800525

So obviously the Registration Code is not part of the Attendee Link, or {{member.registration code}} is not part of {{member.webinar url}}.

And here's how the GoToWebinar Calendar File URL looks like:

https://global.gotowebinar.com/icsCalendar.tmpl?webinar=3495141137700571650&user=338622444&cal=outlook

So that user ID in "user=338622444" is not {{member.registration code}}. Unfortunately...

Anybody familiar with this situation who might give me a hint on how to proceed?

Thanks,

Michael

I believe they are for different purposes.

You can also add these tokens to the ICS Token inside the Description Task (although I've heard that's not always reliable).

Thanks Josh!

After talking to GoToWebinar people and some testing, I believe I can say now that you can use the registrantKey (as the G2W API calls it) or the Registration Code (as Marketo calls it) to build the join URL and the link to the calendar file hosted in GoToWebinar. Like that for example:

Join URL:

global.gotowebinar.com/join/{{my.webinar-ID}}/{{member.registration code}}

Calendars:

global.gotowebinar.com/icsCalendar.tmpl?webinar={{my.webinar-ID}}&user={{member.registration code}}&cal=outlook

global.gotowebinar.com/icsCalendar.tmpl?webinar={{my.webinar-ID}}&user={{member.registration code}}&cal=google

global.gotowebinar.com/icsCalendar.tmpl?webinar={{my.webinar-ID}}&user={{member.registration code}}&cal=ical

{{my.webinar-ID}} needs to be a program token with the ID of your specific webinar.

    Hey!

    Would love to get your help here - how did you integrate these links into the email?

    I copy pasted this and it got me to a 400 error page :/ Thanks a lot in advance!!

    It's just a URL, so it goes in the href of an <a> tag.

    But you need to ensure that all the tokens will resolve at the point the email is sent, including the special {{my.token}} that Michael is recommending you add.

    This would be great, if Marketo could create Google Calendar links!
