Automate the process of sending registrations from Salesforce to Goldcast. Save valuable time.

If you are collecting registrations for your events and webinars on Salesforce, you can easily send the collected data into Goldcast via the integration. This is a huge time-saver because there’s no hassle of handling multiple data uploads and messy CSVs.

Don’t bore your attendees by asking them to add information multiple times. Goldcast has got the fix.

Most event attendees hate to share their information twice, especially when they have already taken out the time to fill a lead form while registering for the event. Goldcast’s integration with Salesforce ensures that registrants get a link in their email, and can enter Goldcast on a single click!

‍

Let attendees network with each other like in person. Capture attendee profiles in Goldcast with just a few clicks.

Transfer complete data such as name, company, title, Linkedin URL, etc., from your Salesforce registration form into Goldcast. This becomes the Goldcast user profile and enables attendees to discover each other, know more about each other, and network better amongst themselves. All of this without typing in a single word within Goldcast!

‍

Get all the key attendee insights across multiple touchpoints at one place - the Goldcast dashboard

The data on Goldcast itself provides valuable insights from past events that can help you understand your registrants better.

Do you want to know what stage of the pipeline they represent, and with what potential? Do you want to know what percentage of the registrants are prospects vs attendees?

We got you covered!

Send back rich event data from Goldcast.
The integration works both ways!

‍
The Goldcast-Salesforce integration lets you automatically send a treasure trove of event data back into Salesforce as lead information and custom activity. This data can be used for a variety of marketing and post-event sales follow-ups.
