Create a Zoom Integration

You’ll learn how to create a Zoom integration with Nylas.

You'll need to repeat the process for each account you want to connect.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure you go through the steps in Create a Zoom App.
    • Zoom client ID and secret
    • Redirect URI used when creating a Zoom app.
  • You have a Nylas authenticated account.
    • You can follow our guides on hosted and native authentication if you need to authenticate a Nylas account.
  • Use the correct base URL based on your location.

Authenticate the Request

To authenticate the request, use your Base64 encoded <NYLAS_CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET> for basic authentication. You can use Shell or Bash to convert to base64 encoded.

echo ‘<NYLAS_CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET>’ | base64
4oCYZDU3OTYzZDU1OGQxOmIzNTU5MmU1MTAxNuKAmQo=

Make sure there is a colon between NYLAS_CLIENT_ID and NYLAS_CLIENT_SECRET.

Step 1: Make a POST Request to connect/integrations

In this step, you’ll associate the Zoom integration with your Nylas application.

The request includes the following required fields:

Name Type Description
name string Name of the integration. This is for your own identification.
provider string Always zoom
settings.client_id string The Zoom client ID from Create a Zoom App.
settings.client_secret string The Zoom client secret from Create a Zoom App
redirect_uris array of strings An array of redirect URIs. You can have multiple URIs here. At least one needs to match the Redirect URL for OAuth in your Zoom integration. One should be the URL that users go to after authentication. This is a web address you set up.
expires_in string Issue the JWT token with the specified expiration date. Defaults to 14 days (1,209,600 seconds) optional.

Example Create Integration Request 

curl --location --request POST 'https://beta.us.nylas.com/connect/integrations' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <NYLAS_CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '
{
  "name": "<APP_NAME>",
  "provider": "zoom",
  "settings": {
    "client_id": "<ZOOM_CLIENT_ID>",
    "client_secret": "<ZOOM_CLIENT_SECRET>"
  },
  "redirect_uris": [
    "https://some-url.com/connect/callback",
    "https://another-url.com/callback-handler"
  ],
  "expires_in": 1209600
}'

Example Create Integration Response 

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "id": "a6fc8cad-f2dc-4d18-aee5-2fd8be988ece",
        "name": "<APP_NAME>",
        "provider": "zoom",
        "redirect_uris": [
            "https://some-url.com/connect/callback",
            "https://another-url.com/callback-handler"
        ],
        "expires_in": 1209600
    }
}

Create an Integration endpoint.

Step 2: Create a Zoom Auth Request

Now that you have a Zoom integration, you’ll need to grant account access to Zoom.

During this step, you’ll pass in a Nylas account_id to associate Zoom to the correct account. The response returns the authentication URL. Make sure to review the Grant endpoint for more optional fields.

Name Type Description
provider string Always zoom
redirect_uri string Needs to match the Redirect URL for OAuth in your Zoom integration.
expires_in string Issue the JWT token with the specified expiration date. Defaults to 14 days (1,209,600 seconds) optional. You're able to overwrite at the grant level
account_id string Nylas account_id that can use the Zoom integration.

You’ll notice some of the fields you used for Integration are also in Grants. You can set Integration defaults but override them at the Grant level.

Example Create a Zoom Auth Request

The redirect_uri must match the Redirect URL for OAuth in Zoom.

curl --location --request POST 'https://beta.us.nylas.com/connect/auth' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <NYLAS_CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
  "provider": "zoom",
  "redirect_uri": "https://some-url.com/connect/callback",
  "expires_in": 43200,
  "account_id": "<NYLAS_ACCOUNT_ID>"
}'

Example Create a Zoom Auth Response

The url is where the user will be directed to authenticate against Zoom; the the redirect_uri is where they will be sent after authentication.

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "url": "https://example.com/connect/login?id=DTocdJxOIChnqgQe7KGxuM8Qxs2xiifQeCRG",
        "id": "DTocdJxOIChnqgQe7KGxuM8Qxs2xiifQeCRG",
        "expires_at": 1627543615,
        "request": {
            "provider": "zoom",
            "redirect_uri": "https://some-url.com/callback-handler",
            "account_id": "7keuifv5667vz4c3cvshe9lsm"
        }
    }
}

Hosted authentication endpoint.

Step 3: Redirect the User

In Step 2 - Create a Zoom Grant, Nylas returned an authentication URL. Direct your user to that URL so they can authenticate the account against Zoom. The user will need to give consent, so that the app is authorized to create conferencing objects on behalf of the user.

Step 4: Nylas Directs the User

Once the user has been authenticated, Nylas will send the user to the redirect URI specified in Step 1 or Step 2. We’ll also include the status of the grant, grant ID, and provider.

/?success=true&provider=zoom&grant_id=9459b732-7165-4a1a-a1cd-8f88a6bda3fa

Success!

At this point, the authentication is successful, and the user can start creating Zoom Meetings.
