Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Airtable and Zoom Integration

To begin the Airtable and Zoom integration, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the workflow between Airtable and Zoom seamlessly. Start by signing up or logging into your Pabbly Connect account.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Create Workflow’ option. Here, you will set the trigger event as a new record in Airtable. This step is crucial as it initiates the process of creating a Zoom meeting whenever a new record is added to Airtable.

Creating the Airtable Record for Zoom Meetings

Next, you need to create a new record in Airtable. Open your Airtable account and set up a new base for your meetings. For this integration, name the base something relevant, like ‘English Class.’ This base will hold the details required for the Zoom meeting.

• Create fields for Name, Date, Time, and Duration.
• Ensure the Date field is formatted correctly to capture the meeting date.
• Add a Created Time field to trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the base, add a record with the necessary meeting details. This record will be used by Pabbly Connect to create a corresponding Zoom meeting automatically.

Connecting Airtable to Pabbly Connect

With your Airtable record ready, return to Pabbly Connect to establish a connection. In the trigger setup, select Airtable and the event as ‘New Record.’ You will need to enter your Airtable API key to authenticate the connection.

Once connected, select the base you created earlier, which is ‘English Class,’ and choose the table that contains your meeting details. Make sure to set the trigger field as the Created Time field to ensure that the workflow activates whenever a new record is added.

Setting Up the Zoom Integration in Pabbly Connect

Now that Airtable is connected to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the action for Zoom. Choose Zoom as the application and select the action event as ‘Create Meeting.’ This step is essential as it defines what happens when a new record is detected in Airtable.

Authenticate your Zoom account within Pabbly Connect. After successful authentication, map the fields from Airtable to Zoom. Ensure that the meeting topic, start time, and duration are correctly filled with the data from your Airtable record.

Testing and Finalizing the Integration

To finalize the integration, run a test in Pabbly Connect. This will check if a meeting is created in Zoom based on the record you added in Airtable. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a new meeting appear in your Zoom account with the specified details.

Once confirmed, your integration is complete. You can now automatically create Zoom meetings from new Airtable records without any manual intervention, streamlining your scheduling process.

Conclusion

This guide summarizes the key points and helps you understand the essential features and benefits of using this tool.

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Airtable and Zoom allows for efficient automation of meeting scheduling. By following the steps outlined, you can set up a seamless workflow that saves time and reduces manual errors.
