Use Wufoo forms to collect webinar and virtual event registrations

Did you know that you can use your Wufoo forms to collect registrations for your webinars and virtual events? That’s right! Wufoo integrates with popular tools like Zoom and On24 among others, with the help from our friends at Zapier. 

While many webinar tools offer some sort of registration form, they’re usually limited in the amount of customization and embeddability options available. With Wufoo, you can fully customize the look and feel of your form, and even embed it on your website or landing page. When someone fills it out, they’ll automatically get registered for your event, and you can continue to automate the workflow even further from there (e.g. send leads to Salesforce or Mailchimp). 

Let’s walk through setting up the integration – it’s simple, don’t worry! Here’s a short video that walks through the process, as well as written instructions below.

Things you’ll need:

1. Schedule your webinar

In our example, we’re using Zoom, but the process should be similar regardless of which tool you prefer.

2. Create your registration form in Wufoo

Be sure to include fields for all the information you’ll want to collect (e.g. name, email, company name, etc.). Once you create your form, go ahead and submit a test entry. This will also come in handy when we test and validate the integration in one of the later steps.

3. Integrate your Wufoo form with your webinar

Now for the fun part – seeing the integration come to life!

  • Log in to your Zapier account
  • Click on Make a Zap

  • Very clever. However, when we try to get this to work for Webex, Zapier simply says: Sorry, there are not pre-built integrations for wufoo + CISCO Webex meetings.

  • Hey Tess – you’re right, our mistake! We’ll edit the blog post to reflect that. Thanks for pointing that out!

  • What are the benefits of connecting wufoo to Zoom that couldn’t be accomplished by folks registering directly in Zoom?

    Posted March 30th, 2020 by Michelle Ketelsen.
  • Hey Michelle – two of the benefits that we hear about most often for using wufoo for the form rather than what’s pre-built in Zoom is really around customization and the ability to embed the form on a website. Some customers who are running webinars want to embed a sign up form on their company’s website, or want to customize the form to match the brand. Hope that helps!
