Zoom Meetings Integration
Super admins and admins can configure, view and modify the Zoom Meetings integration. Managers & staff will not have access to this information.
Zoho Bookings allows support, sales, and other customer-facing teams to offer online consultations through appointments by integrating with
Zoom Meetings. Zoom is a cloud-based video and audio collaboration software. With this integration in place, businesses can help their customers schedule online consultations with them.
This integration requires that you have a
suitable plan with Zoom Meetings to schedule a desired number of online consultations for participants.

III. Add users to Zoom Meeting
Let's see how to add a Zoho Bookings staff (shown below) as a user in Zoom Meetings to be able to conduct online meetings.
Note: Zoom meetings will be created only for staff added as users in Zoom.

Navigate to User Management > Users under ADMIN. Click + Add Users.

IV. Book an appointment
Customers book an appointment with the service configured to create online meetings as a
guest user or
customer portal user.
V. Connect using join link
The summary page displays the appointment details along with the meeting details.
Once an appointment is booked, the meeting will be created in Zoom against the respective Zoho Bookings user. The booked meeting appears under the
Meetings >
Upcoming section in Zoom Meetings. The staff can click
Start to begin the meeting.
Note: Once the appointment is booked,
email notifications can be sent to both the staff and/or the customer on booking, rescheduling and cancelation of appointments.
Support link in notification emails
The support link can be included in
notification emails using
Meeting Info from the
Variables list. The variable
%meetinginfo% populates the Zoom meeting link.
Email notification for Staff
Email notification for Customer
The configured staff can
host the meeting. The participant(s) can then
join the meeting and start collaborating.
