2. Optional- Select a Workspace ID
3. Configure New Environment Name
4. Optional- Configure Variables Quantity
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
Turn on the trigger

Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Meeting Started (Instant) on Zoom

Description:Emit new event each time a meeting starts where you're the host

Zoom Overview#

The Zoom API lets you tap into a rich set of functionalities to enhance the video conferencing experience within your own app or workflow. With the Zoom API on Pipedream, you can automatically create meetings, manage users, send meeting notifications, and more, orchestrating these actions within a broader automation. This allows for seamless integration with other services, enabling both data collection and action triggers based on Zoom events.

Pipedream workflows allow you to run any Node.js code that connects to the Zoom API. Just create a new workflow, then add prebuilt Zoom actions (create a meeting, send a chat message, etc.) or write your own code. These workflows can be triggered by HTTP requests, timers, email, or on any app-based event (new tweets, a Github PR, Zoom events, etc).

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Zoom	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Zoom app.
	`apphook`	`$.interface.apphook`

Trigger Authentication#

Zoom uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoom account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoom and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zoom API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

Postman Overview#

The Postman API enables you to automate tasks within your Postman collections, such as running collections, fetching and updating environments, and integrating your API development workflow into your CI/CD pipeline. Using Pipedream, you can harness this functionality to create custom workflows that trigger on various events, process data, and connect with other apps, extending the capabilities of your API testing and development processes.
