Webex Webinars (New) and API Upgrade

  • Updated

Act-On's built-in Webex integration now supports Webex Webinars (New) in addition to the classic Webex Events connector, and runs on Webex's latest API version.

Why this matters: You can run both connector types side by side, so switching to the newer Webex Webinars product doesn't mean giving up any events you still run through Webex Events (Classic) - and the new connector's OAuth 2.0 support means your team can log in with SSO.
