To start sending Zoom meeting invitations via SMS, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for integrating various applications, including Zoom and SMS services.

Once you are on the Pabbly Connect dashboard, you can begin creating a new workflow. This workflow will allow you to automate the process of sending SMS invitations for your Zoom meetings.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will learn how to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect that connects Zoom to your SMS service. Start by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Zoom SMS Invitations’).
• Select Zoom as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event (e.g., ‘New Meeting’).

After setting up the trigger, you will need to connect your Zoom account to Pabbly Connect. This involves authorizing Pabbly to access your Zoom account, which allows it to fetch meeting details automatically.

3. Setting Up SMS Integration

Next, you will set up the SMS integration in Pabbly Connect. This is crucial for sending the meeting invitations directly to your contacts via SMS.

• Select your SMS service provider (e.g., Twilio).
• Choose the action event (e.g., ‘Send SMS’).
• Map the necessary fields (recipient number, message content).

By mapping these fields correctly, Pabbly Connect ensures that the SMS sent contains all relevant details about the Zoom meeting, such as date, time, and joining link.

4. Testing the Integration

Once you have set up both Zoom and SMS integrations, it’s time to test the workflow in Pabbly Connect. This step ensures everything is functioning correctly.

Click on the ‘Test Workflow’ button to initiate a test. If successful, you will receive an SMS invitation to the specified number. This confirms that your integration is working as intended.

In case of any issues, you can troubleshoot by checking the mapping of fields or re-authorizing your accounts within Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Workflow

After successful testing, you can finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Make sure to save all changes and turn on the workflow to begin sending SMS invitations automatically.

With the workflow activated, every time a new meeting is created in Zoom, an SMS invitation will be sent to your specified contacts. This automation saves time and ensures that your attendees receive timely notifications.

Additionally, you can customize the SMS content to include any additional information or instructions relevant to your meetings.
