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.
Synchronizing Meetings or Recordings
You can also create a new table that synchronizes all scheduled meetings:
On a new line on the page, type /zoom and click Zoom under the heading Pack Tables.
Select the type of data you’d like to sync - either MyMeetings or MyRecordings.
Click on Choose what to sync and customize your sync settings. You can choose the date range, and sync policies (frequency and size limit).
Finally click on Sync now to kick things off.
Advanced Scenarios
Advanced scenarios are also possible formulas for Webinars and Meetings. You can retrieve information about Meetings or Webinars given their link or id. Given a webinar instanceId, you can also retrieve information about the attendees for the webinar. See the formulas Zoom::Meeting, Zoom::Webinar, and Zoom::WebinarRegistrants for more details.
