When you set up a connection between your GoToWebinar account and a “Lead Generation” element, or a Thrive Leads opt-in form you are basically giving the visitors of your website the means through which they can sign up for your upcoming webinars.
Here is how to achieve this:

The first thing you need to do in order to start setting up the connection is accessing your Thrive Dashboard:
Scroll down until you see the “API Connections” card click on “Manage Connections”:
Next, click on the downwards pointing arrow to open the drop-down list and look for the GoToWebinar app. Once found, click on it to select it:
Add your GoToWebinar account credentials in the corresponding fields, and click on “Connect”:

You can always return to this dashboard and test (1), edit (2), or remove (3) the connection:
Connecting GoToWebinar to a “Lead Generation” element
Once the API connection with GoToWebianar has been set, you will be able to connect “Lead Generation” forms to your account.

Drag and drop the element to your page:

The Thrive Architect editor will open, and you will be able to see the “Lead Generation” element available for that form. Click on it to select it:
This will enable the left sidebar set of “Main Options”, allowing you to start setting up the connection:
As you can see, you can now connect your opt-in form to GoToWebinar by following the steps described above for connecting to a “Lead Generation” element.
