Integrate with Zoom.us webinar platform (is superior to GoToWebinar)
Hi guys. GoToWebinar is old technology and the developers (Citrix Online) are not investing in improving it — "milk that cash cow, dudes".
(I am not affiliated with them at all, btw!) Zoom.us is superior technology to GoTo and has a range of advantages such as much higher video/webcam quality, the ability to play video live to an audience and not drop a frame (unlike GoTo which cannot come close to playing video well in a webinar).
You will find more and more people switching to Zoom — it is also much less expensive than GoTo) — so it would be awesome if you could integrate with them. They have an open API apparently.
Certain integrations are possible via Zapier — like adding and tagging Zoom webinar registrants in Infusionsoft — but granular tagging like what PlusThis can do with GoTo (such as also tagging for Attended, No Show, Minutes Attended etc.) is not possible via Zapier.
Please fill this gap in the modern marketer's world PlusThis genius team! :)
Cheers

Zoom integration is now live. More documentation, how-to’s, and guides to come shortly.

Yes, our Zoom integration will also include a survey and poll feature similar to the GoToWebinar feature improvement.
This is the next feature of ours that will come out. Our developers have already broke ground on this feature for a couple days now.
Good news is it's very compatible with the work we've done on our GoToWebinar feature.
No hard deadlines on release, but early December is our goal.

Another quick question in relation to this coming feature... will you also include the poll and survey integration where webinar attendees can be tagged based on their responses? I see you have this with GoToWebinar now (http://www.plusthis.com/features/gotowebinar-polls-and-surveys-now-integrated-with-plusthis/) which is very useful for segmenting and triggering.

Great to hear, PlusThis Team! Can you give a rough best case to worst case time range on when the feature might be released, now that it officially has "Planned" status?
By the way, I see that AppointmentCore has now integrated with Zoom too. See video on https://www.appointmentcore.com/updates/ The Zoom app ecosystem is gradually growing, finally!

Yes, we discussed it and found out that Zoom already has a free built-in integration with Infusionsoft. Every time we've reached out to people about what they'd need from an integration with Zoom that the built-in free version doesn't have, we haven't heard back.
We're still open to this idea, but we need more info about what's lacking in the free integration that you all still would like to have.

I think it's a great idea, too. I have many clients who would like to use Zoom and there isn't a good solution for integration.
Is there an update on this?

Awesome! (re "We’ll discuss this in our development meetings.") I look forward to hearing an update on how the discussion went. You'd rock my world if you implemented this!
