Let’s walk through the process of setting up the Omeda integration for your webinars. This guide will break it down step by step so you’ll be up and running in no time.
Step 1: Prerequisites
Before we dive in, make sure you have the following:
Submit a support request to enable the Omeda integration.
A webhook already created on the Omeda platform.
Got those? Great, let’s get started!
Step 2: Create and Configure a Webhook on Omeda
Next, we’ll need a webhook on the Omeda side:
Log in to your Omeda account.
Create a new webhook
(check Omeda’s documentation if you’re unsure how to do this).
Set up the webhook with the necessary configurations for syncing webinar data.
Got it set up? Awesome, let’s keep going.
Step 3: Configure Omeda Webhook URL
After creating your webhook within the Omeda platform, you’ll be provided with a unique webhook URL.
This URL is essential for connecting Omeda with webinar.net and enabling data synchronization. Here’s how to configure it:
Retrieve the Webhook URL: Copy the webhook URL generated by Omeda.
It will look something like this:https://webhooks.omeda.com/v1/events?clientId=12345&clientSecret=abcd1234&eventType=data_sync
Enter the Integration Tab on webinar.net: Return to webinar.net and go to the webinar’s Integration page.
Navigate to Sync Data to Omeda: Click on the Sync Data to Omeda tab.
Configure the Webhook: Click the Configure Webhook button and paste the Omeda webhook URL into the provided field:
Understanding the Webhook URL Parameters
Here’s a breakdown of the webhook URL components:
Base URL:
https://webhooks.omeda.com/v1/eventsThis is the endpoint Omeda uses for webhook communication.
Query Parameters:
clientId: A unique identifier for your Omeda account (e.g.,12345in the example above).clientSecret: A secret key associated with your account to authenticate requests (e.g.,abcd1234).eventType: Specifies the type of event triggering the webhook.
In this example, it’sdata_sync. Other possible values might includeemail_click,form_submission, orsubscription_update.
Once the webhook URL is entered and saved, data will start flowing seamlessly between webinar.net and Omeda.
You've set up the connection, let's now get the data flowing!
Step 4: Edit the Data Template
Now it’s time to decide what data gets synced:
Go to the Integration page and click on the Sync Data to Omeda tab.
You’ll see an "Edit data template" button.
Edit this by selecting the fields you want to sync over to Omeda:
Once you’re happy with your selections, hit the blue Save at the bottom of the form.
You’re doing great! Let’s test it out.
Step 5: Send Test Data to Omeda
Here’s where we make sure everything’s working:
After selecting your fields in the data template a [Send Test Data] button will appear, you can click it to perform your first test:
A window called Send Test Data to Omeda Webhook will pop up.
Click [Regenerate Test Data] to generate some test data.
Once that’s ready, hit the blue [Send] button to send the test data to Omeda:
Check for the message Test data sent successfully! to confirm everything is good to go:
Looks good? Let’s wrap it up.
Step 6: Enable Auto Sync
Now that everything is configured, the auto-sync feature will be available on this specific webinar. This means webinar data will automatically sync to Omeda after the event concludes.
If you'd like to use this same data template for new webinars, it's recommended to create a clone of the webinar, or an event template to ensure the setup is cloned to your newly created webinars.
That's it, you're all done!
Troubleshooting
If you run into any issues, here are a few tips:
Double-check the webhook settings on Omeda to make sure they match what’s in your account.
Ensure all required fields are included in the data template.
Inspect your pasted webhook URL entered on webinar.net, to ensure you've included the correct parameters.
Test the webhook connection with Omeda to confirm it’s active.
