Usage

The Zoom pack supports synchronizing information in your doc about recordings and tables, and scheduling meetings via a button or automation. Extended scenarios are also possible with webinars allowing you to retrieve information about your scheduled webinars and the attendees.

Creating a new meeting via a button

To add a Zoom meeting via a button, take the following steps:

  • On a new line on the page, type /button and click “New button.”

  • Under Action select Zoom → CreateMeeting.

  • Pick the account to use for this action. If you've allowed shared accounts to take actions, you'll see shared accounts here. If you've opted to require each doc user to add their own account, you can use "User's Private Account." To add a new account, select "Set up another account."

  • Set the meeting topic and optional fields for start, end, agenda, and password.
