Topics covered include:

  • Formatting a Q+A in Obvio - Slido versus Forms (1:00)
    • You can embed a chat from an outside source (like Slido), that offers an embed code. 
    • OR you can do it through forms within Obvio.
      • Create a Google Sheet with four columns - First Name, Last Name, Email, Question
      • Go to the forms tab within Obvio, click "ADD FORM" in upper right
      • Title your form (example: Ask Blue Anything) - click CREATE
      • Add a question (example: What's your question for Blue?)
        • make sure you select a type of question, etc. 
      • Create a Zap via a webhook, Catch Hook, copy your webhook into the "Submissions Webhook" within your form in Obvio. (5:40)

      • Log in to your Dashboard as an attendee and answer the form you'd like to connect to the webhook. 
      • Go back to Zapier, hit "continue" (you've created a test trigger, so Zapier knows what to look for)
      • Connect to Google Sheets and the spreadsheet you created to populate the form answers.
  • Modal versus non-modal (8:25 and 19:00)
