Zoom

Once your Zoom account is connected to your Nexudus account, you will be able to enable the option to "Include a zoom conference call invite as part of the confirmation emails for this event." in the details of any of your events. You can learn here how to create an event.

Tick the box "Include a zoom conference call invite.. "

 

When you create or update an event with this option enabled, we will automatically schedule a meeting in the connected Zoom account and start registering anyone who RSVPs or buys a ticket for that event.

You can see these meetings in your Zoom account using this link: https://zoom.us/meeting?type=upcoming​

New Attendees

When a customer RSVPs or buys a ticket for one of your events, we will automatically register that customer as a registrant for that event.

For example, adding John Doe as an attendee for the event "How to use Zoom Meeting Webinar" like this...

Add new event Attendee

 

... will create a registrant for that meeting in Zoom:

Event attendee in Zoom 

 

Notice how Zoom shows the attendee as approved automatically even though the event is set to require new registrants to be approved manually. The reason for this is that Zoom also enables users to register online via the Zoom portal. If you are happy for those users to join the event, even when they may not have purchased a ticket from your Nexudus portal, you will need to approve those from your Zoom account.

Email confirmation and join link.

This process also generates an email confirmation sent to every attendee which includes a unique link for that attendee to join the event via their own Zoom account.

 

  Use the {zoom} token to inject the join link and password in the email confirmation and reminders about this event. Join links for events are unique per registrant.

Cancelling Tickets

When an event attendee is removed or they decide to cancel their ticket purchase, we will also automatically remove that registrant from the Zoom meeting.

For example, if John Doe ends up deciding not to attend the event and cancels their ticket purchase, Zoom reflects this automatically as well:

To connect a resource or meeting room to your Zoom account follow these steps:

• Log off your Zoom account by going to zoom.com and using the icon on the top right-hand-side menu.

Log Off from your account

 

• Access the details fo the resource or meeting room you plan to connect to your Zoom account by going to Inventory > Bookings Resources.

• Scroll down to the Zoom section and click on Connect this room to Zoom

Connect room to Zoom

 

This will ask you to log in to your Zoom account. It is important you use the correct Zoom account when doing this and make sure you use different licensed Zoom user accounts for each of the different resources or meeting rooms you connect. This will ensure that, if more than one customer books your different resources or meetings rooms at the same time, the Zoom Meeting invites are generated by different Zoom user accounts so they can take place at the same time.

Zoom will ask you now to grant Nexudus access to some of the functions in your Zoom account. Click Authorize if you agree with those and to continue.

Authorise Nexudus to use some of the functions of your Zoom account

 

Once you have connected Nexudus to your Zoom account, you will be returned to the details of the resource or meeting room. You should see the option Include a Zoom Meeting link in all bookings made for this resource enabled for that resource or meeting room.

Include the zoom meeting link

 

Zoom for Meeting Rooms and Zoom for Bookings

​Zoom for Bookings is another way of connecting Nexudus to Zoom. When Zoom for Bookings is used, customers can connect their own Zoom account to their Nexudus account as members or contacts. This enables them to request a Zoom link for their bookings and use their own account to generate those.

Zoom for Bookings requires customers to have their own licensed Zoom account to be able to have meetings longer than 40 minutes. Using Zoom for Meeting Rooms instead lets you provide the licensed Zoom user account to your members.

When both Zoom for Meeting Rooms and Zoom for Bookings are enabled, for example when a customer that has connected their own Zoom account makes a booking for a meeting room that you have connected your Zoom account to, Nexudus generates links using the customer's Zoom account instead of your own.

Zoom for community Board Messages

When using Zoom for Community Board Messages, members and customers starting a conversation in your community boards will be able to request a unique Zoom Meeting link letting other customers quickly join that conversation remotely.

How to use Zoom for Customers 

  You will need to first connect your Nexudus account to your own Zoom account like this. You only need to do this once.

Zoom for Customers lets each member and customer use their own Zoom account connect each conversation in the community board with a Zoom link to let other members join that conversation remotely.

When the Zoom integration is enabled in your account, customers will be given the option to also connect their own Zoom account when starting a new conversation in the community board.

Customers can include the zoom meeting link in the community board message 

 

  Link is generated for a conversation in the community board are valid for up to 30 days after the conversation is created or until the host of the Zoom meeting ends the meeting.

As a customer, when setting up the Zoom integration, Zoom will present the following screen, asking the customers to agree to the level of access the Nexudus platform will have to their accounts:
