Dynamically choosing Zoom event

Hi, I basically have the same question posed in this post, which is closed to new comments. I have a zap that creates a Zoom meeting registration when there’s a new class registration record in Salesforce. Right now it’s set up for per specific class, but I’d like to set it up so that it finds the Zoom meeting based on the class name matching the Zoom event name.

The selected answer suggests using a lookup table, but it seems like those are hardcoded values (i.e. me putting in this Salesforce class ID = this Zoom meeting ID). Am I misunderstanding that? Is there a way to set this up so the zap doesn’t need to be manually updated each time there’s a new class?

Hi @FAC 

 

Since there is no way to Search for a meeting in ZOOM actions on Zapier, you need to refer to the ZOOM API Documentation (here https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/meetings) and create a custom Zap Integration https://platform.zapier.com/partners/lifecycle-planning

 

In your case you would definitely need to do that since you also want this to be organization wide and not only for your account. You can check Zapier Certified Experts directory for help in case this is not something you can do.

Hey there, @FAC!

I wanted to pop in and confirm what @MohSwellam mentioned about Zoom not offering a search function at the moment. 😔

That said, it is an open feature request that I went ahead and added your vote to. While we can’t guarantee if or when this will get implemented we’ll definitely email you if that changes. We’ll also keep the topic updated as well. 

In the meantime, as @MohSwellam also mentioned, you could potentially use the Zoom API and Webhooks by Zapier if you’re comfortable! Here’s a few resources to get you started if you’d like to give that a shot:

I hope some of this helps! Keep us posted on how you decide to to approach this!
