First create your webinar in Zoom. Certain settings in the creation of your Zoom are used by Marketo, and some are only used by Zoom.
After you create a Marketo event and associate a Zoom webinar with it, the systems will be able to share registration and attendance information. For help creating a webinar, see Getting Started with Zoom Webinars.
Enter the following information for your webinar and it will be pulled into Marketo via the adapter. If you make any changes to this information, you must click the link “Refresh from Webinar Provider” under Event Actions, in order for Marketo to see the changes.

note note NOTE The fields Marketo sends over are: First Name, Last Name, Email Address. note tip TIP To populate your confirmation email with this unique URL, use the following token in your email: {{member.webinar url}}. When the confirmation URL is sent out, this token automatically resolves to the person’s unique confirmation URL.Set your confirmation email to Operational to ensure that people who register and may be unsubscribed still receive their confirmation information. People who sign up for your webinar will get pushed to your webinar provider via the Change Program Status flow step when the New Status is set to “Registered.” No other status will push the person over. Also, be sure to make Change Program Status flow step #1, and Send Email flow step #2.
note caution CAUTION Avoid using nested email programs to send out your confirmation emails. Use the event program’s smart campaign instead, as shown above. note tip TIP It can take up to 48 hours for the data to appear in Marketo. If after waiting that long you still don’t see anything, select Refresh from Webinar Provider from the Event Actions menu in the Summary tab of your event, then click the refresh icon on the bottom right of the screen.
