The integration will automatically send an email to the attendees with the Zoom meeting details as soon as you click the Start Zoom Meeting button.

Note: There is a requirement that the setting Send Email to Attendees at Launch be enabled before this feature can be used.

How to manage Zoom meetings as events

If you are creating an event in Salesforce, the Zoom Meeting Integration will provide you with the following features on the event detail page when you create an event:

• Scheduling Zoom meetings
  You will have the option to schedule a Zoom meeting when you create or update an event in Salesforce.
• Starting scheduled meetings
  In order to start a Zoom meeting after adding it to an event, just click on the Join URL under the Meeting Details section of the event detail page, or hit the Start Zoom Meeting button on the event detail page once the Zoom meeting has been added.
• Configuring customer start time
  Under the Customer Start Time section when creating an event, you have the option of setting the following: the date, the time, and the time zone.
  For these settings, the customer will be asked to enter their preferences. The start and end times of the event are displayed in the time zone of the customer once the event has been saved. The system adjusts and converts the meeting start time to your time zone automatically as soon as the meeting starts.

View and refresh meeting details in Salesforce

Note: The meeting must have at least two participants in order to be successful.

On the details page of a Zoom meeting, you will be able to see information about that meeting. After the Zoom meeting has ended, the host will be able to provide you with the details of the meeting.

By clicking on the Sync Meeting Details button, you will be able to manually refresh the information. From the Zoom web portal, this method pulls the latest meeting information and updates the status, Zoom meeting start and duration information, participants, and recording information of the Zoom meeting.

A part of the integration is the automatic syncing of the data on an hourly basis as part of its daily routine.

How to create events for external Zoom meetings

Note: In order to sync external Zoom meetings with Salesforce, the administrator must enable the integration.

Using the Zoom web portal or Zoom client, you can create external Zoom meetings in order to host meetings with others. As a result of the integration, Zoom meetings are automatically found in Salesforce and events are created in Salesforce according to the matching contacts and leads.

It is essential that you ensure the following when setting up external Zoom meetings in order to ensure that they sync successfully with Salesforce:

• There is an active Salesforce user who is hosting the Zoom meeting.
• An owner of the Salesforce contact or lead is the person who hosts the Zoom meeting.
• It is required that at least one of the participants is a Salesforce contact or lead.
• In Salesforce, the first and last names of the meeting participant match those of the contact or lead with the same first and last name. Zoom meeting participants are matched with the appropriate contact and lead based on the first and last names that are used in the integration.

View external Zoom meeting details

Zoom meetings can be associated with Salesforce contacts and leads, and meetings can be scheduled with events. You can also view the activity history of external Zoom meetings under each contact or lead for a given meeting.

If you would like to join an external Zoom meeting, follow these steps:

1. Click on External Zoom Meetings on the App Launcher after you have opened the App Launcher.
2. Please enter the date range in which you would like Zoom meetings to be populated.
3. Click on the Get Details button.
4. You can choose whether to relate a contact or a lead to your account.
5. For the selected meetings, click on the Create Events button.

Note: It is possible to display up to 2700 records in external Zoom Meetings in the last month. It may be necessary to reduce the time interval so that fewer than 2700 records are displayed if you receive an error message.
