Obvio Weekly Q&A – September 9, 2026

2 min. readlast update: 09.15.2026

Summary

This week's session opened with an in-depth GoHighLevel (GHL) workflow demonstration, where Justin James guided Barbara Geldert through setting up robust safety nets for attendee creation. Justin showed how to tag contacts in GHL to trigger Obvio registration, write the magic URL back to custom contact fields, insert dynamic dashboard links into email templates, and use timed wait states with internal email notifications to catch broken connections before live events. Blue Melnick then introduced the brand-new native integration between Obvio and Obi (AI Hub), demonstrating frictionless, one-click attendee authorization directly from the Obvio event dashboard.

The back half of the call focused on troubleshooting and newly released features. Jeff Veley, Grant Whitehead, and Justin discussed solutions for browser cookie conflicts when users toggle between student and teacher views. Muddy Schlegel joined to explore automated video offloading from Zoom to Vimeo, parsing missing last-name fields, and utilizing the Mac-exclusive Obvio Zoom Controller app for AI gallery monitoring.
