We're having a heck of a time getting our webinar registrants to click the URL in the auto-generated GTW event reminders to add the item to their calendar. Is there a plug-in or any way to actually attach an Outlook calendar invite to the email (On24 does this) that will contain their unique login information?

Hi Cody,
Sorry for the frustrations there.
The 'Add to Calendar' option for GoToWebinar is for attendees to utilize themselves, after receiving confirmation of acceptance into the live event. They are offered a link on the post registration web page, and also in the email reminders as you know.
I would suggest registering yourself for a test webinar to see what the experience is like. Each registrant has options to add for Outlook, Google Calendar, iCal, and Outlook.com. If you want to add some special instructions, you may do so by customizing the email reminders for each GoToWebinar you schedule.
