How Do You Integrate Webinars into Marketo?
Connect Zoom, ON24, GoToWebinar and more to Marketo programs that standardize registration, confirmation, attendance, and follow-up at scale. Use program templates, tokens, and SFDC Campaign sync to capture source, status, and engagement—from first touch to pipeline.
Integrate webinars in Marketo by selecting a supported platform (Zoom, ON24, GoToWebinar), installing the native LaunchPoint service, and assigning it to a Program Template with tokens for title, date/time, speakers, and URLs. Map webinar provider fields to Marketo program statuses (Registered, Attended, No-Show), sync the program to an SFDC Campaign, and drive follow-up with Smart Campaigns that send reminders, record actual attendance duration, score engagement, and route qualified leads to sales with the correct Member Status.
