Automated GoTo Webinar Session Setup Checklist

Every morning, WebRun checks GoTo Webinar for sessions scheduled in the next 7 days, confirms panelists and registration settings are in place, holds the session on Google Calendar for every host and panelist, and sends the internal event coordinator a WhatsApp reminder to chase any panelist who has not confirmed.

In short

How do I make sure every GoTo Webinar session is fully set up?

WebRun checks GoTo Webinar every morning for sessions in the next 7 days, confirms panelists and registration are set, holds the time on Google Calendar for every host and panelist, and sends the internal coordinator a WhatsApp reminder about anything unconfirmed, so no session goes live with an open setup gap.

  • Every session is checked a full week before it goes live
  • Unconfirmed panelists are flagged instead of discovered live
  • Every host and panelist has a calendar hold automatically

Questions, answered

Does WebRun message the panelists directly?

No. The WhatsApp reminder goes to your internal event coordinator, not to panelists or registrants. Any outreach to a panelist is sent by your team.

How far ahead does it check sessions?

It looks 7 days out every morning, so a session moves onto the checklist as soon as it is within that window and stays tracked until it is fully set up.

What if registration is already closed by design?

You can mark that session as intentionally closed, and it will not be flagged, only sessions that look incomplete by mistake are surfaced.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
