Wow. The list of integrations you guys keep coming out with astounds me. Keep the innovation rolling .. The GoToWebinar/MailChimp integration is something I have been hoping for (seeing as the GoToWebinar registration system creates a 'silo' database and lots of ensuing data entry to update one's CRM database after a webinar). My question for you ... your blog article refers to sending out *invitations* for a webinar but makes no reference to whether GoToWebinar registrant details (entered into the GoToWebinar Registration Form for a webinar) find their way back into the MailChimp database? For example, if a person registers for a webinar and they are not in the linked MailChimp list, does a new contact get added to that list in MailChimp? Or for existing users, does the registration find its way back into the AIM Activity History for that List Member? I assume not, seeing as you didn't mention that, but I just thought I'd check. I was just about to test using EventBrite as a better webinar registration system than GoTo's own silo system, but if MailChimp and GoToWebinar could integrate to the degree I've described above, that could save an additional layer of complexity (of using EventBrite as well). Any tips you might have to achieve a simple webinar invitation and registration system would be greatly appreciated. Cheers MC Hi Ben. Wow.
