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 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:

PostGrid Print & Mail Overview#

The PostGrid Print & Mail API offers seamless print and mail solutions, enabling the automation of sending personalized letters, postcards, checks, and more. With this API, you can systematize direct mail campaigns, transactional mailings, or on-demand dispatch without managing printing infrastructure. In Pipedream, you can harness this capability to interlace PostGrid with an array of other services and triggers, creating workflows that respond to events such as form submissions, scheduled campaigns, or customer actions.
