Connecting Your Appointments & Events to Zoom

Host online appointments and events by integrating your account with Zoom. Zoom is a powerful platform that allows you to efficiently conduct online meetings, group classes, workshops, webinars, and more. Here's a step-by-step guide to connecting your account with Zoom and making the most of this integration.

Main Benefits

  • Provide a seamless online experience for your clients. Clients will receive the Zoom meeting details in the confirmation message, allowing them to join the meeting with a simple click on the unique meeting URL. This eliminates the need to share meeting links manually and ensures a smooth transition between sessions.
  • Secure and Compliant: Zoom is a secure and HIPAA-compliant video call and screen share platform. By connecting it to your account, you can ensure the privacy and security of your online appointments and events.
  • Efficient Appointment Management: The integration streamlines your appointment management process and reduces the chances of errors or confusion.

Important: Admins cannot add a Zoom account for staff members. Each staff member needs a Zoom account to use the integration. Sharing a single login is restricted. Upgrade to the Zoom business plan to enable single sign-on for all your staff members.

  3. The system will automatically generate a unique meeting URL for each appointment or event, which will be shared with clients in their confirmation messages and notifications.

Important: When setting a service location online, all staff members that offer this service must be connected to Zoom. A meeting link will only be generated if you connect all the Zoom accounts.

The new Zoom meeting link will appear in the booking details, booking email & SMS notifications under your clients' Client Portal account.

Note: The meeting URL is not public and will only be visible to each appointment, event invites, or registered client.

FAQ's

How can I connect to a new Zoom account?

If you want to connect to a different Zoom account, disconnect from the existing one before connecting to the new one.
