Webinar API

What is a Webinar API?

A Webinar API is the ultimate integration solution for webinar organizers. With a webinar API, they can quickly and easily connect their webinar platform with other services while keeping full control over user data and experience. It allows them to add new features to their webinar, like customized registration forms, automated reminders, and user interaction tools, without having to manually code each feature.

Benefits of a Webinar API

A webinar API is an indispensable tool for webinar organizers looking to maximize the potential of their events. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Faster Integration: With a webinar API, organizers can quickly and easily connect their webinar platforms to other services, such as email marketing platforms or customer relationship management (CRM) systems. This allows them to dedicate more time to creating the optimal attendee experience.
• Customized Features: A webinar API enables organizers to create unique experiences for their attendees. They can effortlessly customize registration forms, automated reminders, and user interaction tools without the need for manual coding.
• Increased Control: With a webinar API, organizers have complete control over the data used in their webinars and how it is utilized. This provides them with greater control over the attendee experience and ensures that all participants have the best possible experience.

Examples of Actions with Livestorm API

The Livestorm API provides developers and webinar organizers with access to various features and functions of its platform, enabling them to integrate and extend the capabilities of webinars in creative ways. A non-exhaustive list of use cases that Livestorm customers and partners often build using the API includes:

1. Listing Upcoming Events: Organizers can retrieve upcoming events from their Livestorm accounts using API endpoints and utilize JSON responses for frontend integration.
2. Custom Registration Form: They have the flexibility to develop a custom registration form instead of using Livestorm's default pages by leveraging event JSON data and the POST endpoint.
3. Bulk Registration of Contacts: Organizers can register a list of contacts to an event session in bulk using the API, but they need to be mindful of rate limits and implement a suitable strategy.
4. Customizing Livestorm Events: They have the ability to build custom widgets within Livestorm events using plugins, which adds extra functionality.
5. Transforming Registrants: Organizers can perform actions such as adding new registrants to their CRM, sending welcome messages, or subscribing them to newsletters. They can achieve this through webhook subscriptions or polling mechanisms.
6. Scoring or Nurturing Attendees: By utilizing webhook subscriptions or polling, developers can identify event attendees and assess their engagement levels. This allows them to qualify leads based on attendee attributes.
7. Analyzing Event Impact: Organizers can analyze session engagement, registrants, and attendees by subscribing to webhooks. They can also retrieve detailed participant data for in-depth analysis.
8. Triggering Automation Workflows: After sessions end, developers can initiate automation workflows such as creating contact lists or sending emails based on attendance. They can use webhook subscriptions as triggers for these automation processes.
