Create a Zoom App

This feature is a private preview release and should be used with caution. Its features and implementation will likely change before it is generally available.

This guide will go over creating a Zoom application.

There are two types of applications you can create:

  • Account-level app - The application is installed by a company administrator for all users.
  • User-managed app - The application is installed individually by users.

If you prefer, you can watch the instructional video below or continue reading for a step-by-step guide. Make sure to change your scopes based on your app type.

Step 1: Create a Zoom OAuth App

First, create your Zoom OAuth application:

  1. Browse to the Zoom Marketplace.
  2. Hover over Develop in the top-right corner of the page, and select Build app.
  3. Click Create in the OAuth tile.
  4. Enter the App name.
  5. Select either Account-level app or User-managed app.
  6. Set the Would you like to publish this app on Zoom Marketplace? toggle to No.
  7. Click Create.

Step 2: App Credentials

  1. Make sure you keep the client ID and client secret somewhere safe. You’ll need them when you create a Zoom integration.
  2. Add a Redirect URL for OAuth. The URL should be where you want your users to go after they authenticate against your application. You’ll use it again when you create a Zoom integration.
  3. Add the redirect URL to the OAuth allow list
  4. Allowlist the URL based on your location:
    • https://beta.us.nylas.com/connect/callback.
    • https://beta.eu.nylas.com/connect/callback.

Don't forget to allowlist your redirect URL

If you don’t allowlist your redirect URL, authentication will fail.

Step 3: Information

Fill in the following fields:

  • App name
  • Short description
  • Long description
  • Company name
  • Developer contact information

Step 4: Feature

Adding Event subscriptions is optional. Nylas will also send event webhooks.

Step 5: Scopes

Add the appropriate scope for the type of application you're creating:

- meeting:write
- user:read   
- meeting:master
- meeting:read:admin
- meeting:write:admin
- user:read

Step 6: Activation

Your test application is now ready to go.
