Meeting Started (Instant) on Zoom

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

Version:0.1.4

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:

AltText.ai Overview#

AltText.ai provides an API that leverages artificial intelligence to generate alternative text (alt text) for images, which is crucial for web accessibility and SEO. With AltText.ai, you can automate the process of creating descriptive, keyword-rich, and meaningful alt text for images on websites, blogs, or online stores. In Pipedream, you can create workflows that trigger on various events to send images to the AltText.ai API and receive alt text, which you can then store or apply to your content management system automatically.
