1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Zoom Integration

To set up the Zoom trigger inside Pabbly Connect, first, access your Pabbly Connect dashboard. In this dashboard, you can create a new workflow specifically for integrating Zoom. This process begins by selecting the Zoom application from the trigger section.

After selecting Zoom, choose the trigger event as ‘Configure Webhook’. This action allows Pabbly Connect to listen for events from Zoom, which is essential for triggering automated workflows.

2. Creating a New App in Zoom for Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to create an app in your Zoom account to connect with Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Zoom App Marketplace, and from the left sidebar, select the ‘Develop’ option, then click on ‘Build App’. This step is crucial as it generates the necessary credentials for the integration.

• Hover over the ‘Develop’ section and select ‘Build App’.
• Rename your app, e.g., ‘Pabbly Trigger’.
• Enter the redirect URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After entering the redirect URL, click on ‘Continue’. You will then see the secret token, which is essential for connecting your Zoom account to Pabbly Connect. Copy this token for later use.

3. Connecting Zoom with Pabbly Connect Using the Token

Return to Pabbly Connect and paste the copied secret token into the connection window. Once pasted, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. This step successfully links your Zoom account with Pabbly Connect, allowing it to receive data from Zoom.

After saving, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL. This URL must be added to the Zoom app you created in the previous step. Go back to the Zoom app settings and enable event subscriptions.

4. Adding the Webhook URL to Your Zoom App

In the Zoom app settings, scroll down to the ‘Event Subscription’ section. Turn on the event subscription option and click on ‘Add New Event Subscription’. Here, you will name your subscription and select the events you wish to trigger the webhook.

• Name the subscription, e.g., ‘Pabbly Trigger’.
• Select the events like ‘Start Meeting’ and ‘Meeting Created’.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the notification endpoint URL.

After entering these details, click on ‘Save’. This will ensure that Zoom sends event notifications to Pabbly Connect, allowing for seamless integration.

5. Testing the Zoom Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once the webhook URL is set up, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will change the status to ‘Waiting for Response’. Now, perform an event in Zoom, such as creating a new meeting.

After creating the meeting, you should see a response in Pabbly Connect reflecting the details of the meeting created. This confirms that the integration is working correctly, and Pabbly Connect is receiving data from Zoom.

If you initially selected two events, you can now go back to Zoom and adjust your event subscription to keep only the desired event. This will streamline your integration process within Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

Setting up a Zoom trigger inside Pabbly Connect is a straightforward process that enhances your automation capabilities. By following the steps outlined above, you can effectively integrate Zoom with Pabbly Connect, allowing for efficient data handling and event management.
