Is it possible to start a Zoom video session right from the chat conversation?

I would like the ability to kick off a zoom session from an Intercom conversation, and have Zoom automatically create a meeting id, set the meeting subject based on the client's name and put the invite into the chat. Right now I kick off client zoom sessions, based on Intercom conversations, by hand, using by personal meeting id, and locating a previously recorded session (if I ever need to review it) is difficult, because all recorded zoom sessions are called "Personal Meeting Room".

Hello @yuri​ ,

 

In your case, you should use Calendly <> Intercom Zoom <> Calendly Integrations.

 

Calendly <> Intercom Integration will allow scheduling appointments inside the Intercom conversation;

Zoom <> Calendly Integration will schedule Zoom meetings, once the appointment will be submitted through chat.

 

Calendly Official Web-Site

Calendly <> Intercom App

Calendly <> Zoom Integration

 

I hope this will be helpful.

Thanks, @roy s11​ . I am a help desk agent, one who is initiating the Zoom calls, and I do it in the moment, right away, not scheduling them in advance. With calendly allow me to do that, or is it only for my clients to initiate calls with me?

@yuri​ , At this time there no app that will allow scheduling Zoom calls directly from Inbox =(

 

A workaround will be to use Zapier integration.

 

Example:

Tag - ZoomCall added to a conversation or user profile <> Zoom will schedule the meeting.

 

BTW - such Integration available for Google Meet.

 

I hope this will be helpful.

You can also request this feature in @Product Wishlist​ Group cause the Zoom app is built by Intercom.

I have the same issues as you have and I have a way to do this without using the suggested method above.

 

Go to the App Store, find Quick Links and install that in your Intercom app.

Once installed - add one of the quick links to be your personal zoom link.

Now you can click it and it automatically opens a zoom window where you can give the invite code.
