1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Zoom to Slack Automation

To share Zoom recordings on Slack, we will utilize Pabbly Connect as our central integration platform. First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard by signing up for an account. This will allow you to create a new automation workflow that connects Zoom and Slack seamlessly.

Once you are on the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Zoom to Slack’. After naming, select the folder for your Pabbly Connect account where you want to save this automation, and then click on ‘Create’ to proceed with the setup.

2. Connecting Zoom to Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect our Zoom account to Pabbly Connect. Within the workflow, locate the trigger window and search for Zoom in the ‘Choose App’ section. Select Zoom triggers, and from the trigger event dropdown, choose ‘Configure Webhook’.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Enter the app secret token to establish the connection.
• Follow the instructions provided in the help text to obtain your app secret token.

This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from Zoom whenever a meeting recording is completed. After entering the app secret token, click on ‘Save’ to finalize the connection.

3. Configuring the Zoom Webhook for Recordings

After successfully connecting Zoom to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to configure the Zoom app to send meeting recording notifications. You will need to create an app in the Zoom App Marketplace to obtain a webhook URL.

Go to your Zoom account, navigate to the Advanced section, and select the App Marketplace. Click on ‘Build App’, choose ‘General App’, and create your app. After naming your app, you will need to set the redirect URL, which is the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and paste it into the redirect URL field.
• Once configured, save the app settings in Zoom.

By enabling event subscriptions in your Zoom app, you ensure that every time a recording is completed, the details will be sent to Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending Zoom Recordings to Slack via Pabbly Connect

With the Zoom webhook configured, we can now set up the action to send the meeting recording details to Slack using Pabbly Connect. In the action window of your workflow, search for Slack and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’.

Connect your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and selecting ‘Add New Connection’. Choose the channel ID where you want to send the messages. In the message field, you can customize your message to include details such as the meeting name and recording link.

Map the meeting name and recording link from the Zoom response. Ensure the message is clear and informative for your team members.

After setting up the message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the automation. If successful, your message will appear in the selected Slack channel, confirming that the integration works as intended.

5. Testing the Integration of Zoom and Slack

Now that you’ve set up the automation between Zoom and Slack using Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Start a new meeting in Zoom and record it. Once the meeting is finished, end the session to trigger the webhook.

After the meeting ends, check your Slack channel to confirm that the message containing the meeting recording link has been sent. This will ensure that your team members have easy access to the recordings.

Testing the integration is crucial to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If there are any issues, revisit the steps in Pabbly Connect to troubleshoot the workflow.
