How do I install and set up GoTo Meeting for Salesforce as an admin?

GoTo Meeting for Salesforce Classic provides a means of managing your meetings in your CRM. You can schedule, update, start, or cancel meetings directly from a contact page in Salesforce which lets you and your team keep future and past meetings linked directly to your contacts. Meeting history created in Salesforce is synchronized automatically on a nightly basis.
You can perform a test install for admins, install the package for all users, or install the package for selected Salesforce users. The admin installation consists of the following sections in this article.

Install the app
  1. Open the GoTo Connect Integration in the Salesforce AppExchange and select the type of install you want to complete.
    Note: If you want to make the installation accessible only to a specific user type, select Install for Specific Profiles. You can also set individual user permissions at any time after installation. If you choose to install for specific profiles, a list of user profiles will display. Select the profiles you want to give permission to and set each user to Full Access.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Grant approval for GoTo Meeting to access your organization's Salesforce data and then select Continue.
  4. Approve third-party access and then select Continue.

    Result: You will see a progress update and a message letting you know that you will receive an email when installation is complete. Select Done to exit the message.

What to do next: Check your email inbox for a "Package Successful" email. You will be redirected to a Installed Packages page in Salesforce. Make sure GoToConnect Integration is in the list of installed packages.
