Zoom Overview#

Connecting Zoom to any app using Pipedream

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).

Getting Started

First, sign up for Pipedream at https://pipedream.com.
Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts.
Click the button labeled Click Here to Connect an App.
Search for "Zoom" and select either Zoom or Zoom Admin (see the differences below):

This will open up a new window prompting you to authorize Pipedream's access to your Zoom account. Once you authorize access, you should see your Zoom account listed among your apps.

Create a new workflow, add a new step, search for "Zoom" or "Zoom Admin". Once you've selected either app, you can choose to either "Run Node.js code" or select one of the prebuilt actions for performing common API operations.
At this stage, you'll be asked to link the Zoom account you connected above, authorizing the request to the Zoom API with your credentials:

Zoom vs Zoom Admin app

Zoom users can be classified into two groups: non-admins and admins. Admins have account-level permissions that users do not, and Zoom has corresponding admin-level scopes that aren't relevant for normal users. Therefore, Pipedream exposes two apps — Zoom and Zoom Admin — to serve the two groups.

In the Zoom Marketplace, these apps are named Pipedream, and Pipedream for Zoom Admins, respectively.

Non-admins have permissions to manage standard Zoom resources in their account: meetings, webinars, recordings, and more. If you're a non-admin, you'll want to use the Zoom app.

Zoom admins have permissions to manage account-level resources, like users and reports. They can also manage webinars and meetings across their organization. If you're an admin and need to manage these resources via API, you'll want to use the Zoom Admin app.

The Zoom API docs on permissions provide detailed information on these permissions and their associated OAuth scopes.

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:

Discord Overview#

The Pipedream Discord app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Discord API. When you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your guilds, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Discord actions, or write your own code against the Discord API.

Action Code#

import common from "../common/common.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "discord-send-message",
  name: "Send Message",
  description: "Send a simple message to a Discord channel",
  version: "1.0.2",
  type: "action",
  async run({ $ }) {
    const {
      message,
      avatarURL,
      threadID,
      username,
      includeSentViaPipedream,
      suppressNotifications,
    } = this;
    try {
      const resp = await this.discord.sendMessage(this.channel, {
        avatar_url: avatarURL,
        username,
        flags: this.getMessageFlags(suppressNotifications),
        content: includeSentViaPipedream
          ? this.appendPipedreamText(message)
          : message,
      }, {
        thread_id: threadID,
      });
      $.export("$summary", "Message sent successfully");
      return resp || {
        success: true,
      };
    } catch (err) {
      console.log(err);
      const unsentMessage = this.getUserInputProps();
      $.export("unsent", unsentMessage);
      throw err;
    }
  },
};
