Setting Up Integration Between Zoom and Google Sheets

Integrating Zoom with Google Sheets can greatly enhance productivity by automating various tasks such as lead management, meeting, and webinar registrations. This integration can be achieved through the use of Zapier, which serves as an intermediary to connect both applications. The process involves using Zapier's templates or creating custom Zaps—automated workflows—that trigger specific actions between Google Sheets and Zoom. Below is a step-by-step guide to setting up the integration.

1. Sign up for a Zapier account to start creating Zaps for the integration.
2. Choose a pre-made Zapier template for common Google Sheets and Zoom workflows or create a new Zap from scratch.
3. Configure the trigger in your Zap, which could be a new or updated row in Google Sheets.
4. Set up the action that follows the trigger, such as creating a new Zoom meeting or adding a registrant to a meeting.
5. Customize the data that will be passed between Google Sheets and Zoom, ensuring that all necessary fields are mapped correctly.
6. Test the Zap to confirm that the integration is working as expected.
7. Enable the Zap so it can run automatically whenever the set conditions are met.

Integrating Zoom with Google Sheets

There are several methods to integrate Zoom with Google Sheets, each serving different purposes and offering a variety of functionalities. From automating the addition of meeting registrants to sharing attendee lists efficiently, these integrations can significantly streamline the workflow for organizing and managing Zoom meetings and webinars.

Using IFTTT Applets

IFTTT provides applets that facilitate the connection between Google Sheets and Zoom. These applets are capable of tracking and managing Zoom meetings by adding rows to a Google Sheets spreadsheet when a meeting is created, as well as performing other integrations like creating Zoom meetings from new spreadsheet rows or adding new registrants to a meeting directly from a spreadsheet update.

Employing Zoom API

The Zoom API offers a direct and powerful way to integrate with Google Sheets. By creating a JWT app in the Zoom Marketplace and using a JWT token, it's possible to authenticate requests to various endpoints, such as pulling sub account information. This data can then be populated into Google Sheets using for loops, allowing for a high degree of customization and automation.

Alternative: Using Sourcetable

As an alternative to direct integration, Sourcetable can be used to sync live data from almost any app or database, including Zoom. This tool allows for effortless synchronization, making it easier for users to keep their meeting data up-to-date and accessible within Google Sheets without the need for complex integration setups.
