About the integration

Create Zoom Meetings for appointments and group appointments right from your calendar. Create Zoom Meetings automatically when clients schedule appointments using online bookings, and send an automated confirmation SMS and email with the Zoom Meeting link, meeting ID and passcode. Start a Zoom Meeting from the calendar and copy the invitation link to send to clients if required. Zoom Meetings created in Splose instantly appear in your Zoom account.

📝 Note: Zoom Pro (or above) plan is required to use this integration. A single user may only use up to 100 requests per day (UTC) to create, update, or delete meetings. This 24-hour period resets at 00:00 UTC, not the user or account’s local timezone.

Installation

To start creating Zoom Meetings for appointments and group appointments, start by going to Settings, Integrations and click Connect under Zoom.

Click Authorize to give Splose to access your Zoom account.

Once Zoom is connected, assign Zoom accounts to practitioners in your workspace.

If a practitioner does not have or does not require a Zoom account to be connected, you can ignore the Zoom account for that practitioner.


Usage

Create Zoom Meetings automatically

Now that Zoom is connected to a practitioner account, go to Settings, then Services and edit the services that you wish to automatically create Zoom Meetings for.

Toggle the switch to create Zoom Meetings for new appointments scheduled.

This will create Zoom Meetings every time this type of appointment is scheduled.

Create Zoom Meetings from the calendar

Confirmations

Start by going to Settings, then Appointment templates and duplicate a confirmation template.

Name the template, like Zoom appointment confirmation and then add in the Zoom placeholder codes under the Appointment dropdown in SMS.

Your SMS confirmation template will now look something like this:

Your Zoom meeting details:
