WebinarJam Connection Support Resources
Feature Overview
The WebinarJam Connection feature allows for your customers to register for a WebinarJam webinar using a form from your Marketing Automation System. PlusThis will take care of actually registering the customer in WebinarJam. PlusThis will also tag them as registered and can pull back the appropriate information in order to allow you to configure and send your reminder e-mails through your Marketing Automation System rather than through WebinarJam. This allows for further personalization and more customized email reminders.
How to set up the Feature
