How do I choose particular version of zoom recording?

Hi @joelyi 

I've just bumped into the same issue. I really didn’t want to use a google sheet that would become a data dumpster, so I came up with not a very elegant but seemingly working workaround I’d love to share.

Everything is done inside Zapier, no external apps.

Step 1. Add a Zapier Code step, define a variable “record_types” and add “Recording Files Recording Type “ Zoom field as its value.

Then paste this code:

// this is wrapped in an `async` function

// you can use await throughout the function

 

var types = inputData.record_types.split(",");

var position = types.indexOf("shared_screen_with_speaker_view");

 

var result = position;

if (position>2){

result = 2;

}

output = [{output: result}];

What it does: looks for the position of “shared_screen_with_speaker_view” in that list starting from 0 (exactly what we need).  For example, here it will return 2.

1. gallery_view
2. active_speaker
3. shared_screen_with_speaker_view
4. chat_file

Also, I have 3 recordings for all calls, so the maximum number of video records for me is 2 (0, 1, 2). But Recording Files Recording Type also includes chat files, and that messes the numbers up (you can get a number that is bigger that the amount of video records). My workaround are these rows at the end of the code:

if (position>2){

result = 2;

}

Please note that if you store more or less types of video, you should adjust it to your case. The number you should put there is number of types you use minus 1.

Step 2. Add a Zoom Formatter step → Utilities → Pick from the list, where the number of the item you pick is the result of step 1, and the list is “Video Files Download URL” Zoom field.
