Can You Host a Webinar on Kartra? 2023

Of course, being a top-notch marketing and knowledge commerce platform, you can host webinars on Kartra.

However, you’ll have to use a third-party product integrated with Kartra since the platform doesn’t have built-in webinar functionality.

Instead, Kartra users can integrate Kartra with WebinarJam, a first-rate webinar tool specially chosen for Kartra integration.

In this article, we’ll discuss how to integrate Kartra and WebinarJam.

How to Host Webinars on Kartra

Although Kartra doesn’t offer webinar hosting, the platform has all the features you need to market webinars and convert leads to customers.

If you have used Kartra for a while and trust the platform to accelerate your business, you can trust WebinarJam.

This deserved trust is because both come from the same company, Genesis Digital. So, the two integrate seamlessly. WebinarJam integrates with Kartra tools to build your e-mail list, track, and create autoresponders.

Also, you can embed your live webinars on your website, so visitors to your website can get a glimpse of what you are doing.

Hosting Webinars on Kartra Using WebinarJam

Integrating WebinarJam and Kartra will help you increase your webinar registrations and enable you to reach thousands of existing and potential customers.

You can link your webinar registrants with your Kartra autoresponder, which will send “smart” e-mails based on their WebinarJam interactions.

How to integrate Kartra and WebinarJam

In the Kartra dashboard, go to “My Integrations,” select “API” from the top menu, and then “API” from the drop-down menu.
Save your Kartra API Key and API Key Password.
Login to your WebinarJam account, and go to “My Account,” choose “Integrations,” then go to the “Autoresponders.”
Click on the Kartra logo.
Enter your Kartra API Key
Enter your Kartra API Password
Click on “Connect.”

WebinarJam Pricing

Although WebinarJam also comes from Genesis Digital, it is a separate software package with additional subscription costs.

If webinars are a key part of your business, you’ll find it well worthwhile.

Still, we considered it important to flesh out the plans and costs for WebinarJam as distinct from Kartra so that you have the clearest possible picture.

WebinarJam offers four plans:

Starter, which allows 100 Attendees for $39 / month
Basic, which allows 500 Attendees at $79 / month
Professional, with 2,000 Attendees at $229 / month
Enterprise with 5,000 Attendees at $379 / month.

All of WebinarJam’s plans bill annually.
