How to use Zapier in zoom App

You can automate your work with Zapier by creating simple automations called Zaps, which work in the background. A Zap can automatically subscribe Zoom Webinar registrants to a MailChimp list or register a contact for a Zoom Webinar whenever a form is submitted or a PayPal purchase is made, for instance.

Every Zap has a trigger app, which starts the automation and triggers an action in another app. Through Zapier you can connect these apps and automate the tools you use every day to run your business

Popular Zaps Using Zoom

Registering webinar attendees

Zapier lets you automatically register webinar participants when they sign up via another app, such as a form or an email list. You can create a Zap that watches for new signups in your form and automatically registers those contacts for your webinar, for example, if you’re collecting webinar registrations via a form or a calendar invite. Registrants can be added automatically that way, so you don’t need to manually enter them.

Zapier users are automating webinar workflows in these ways.

Using Zapier and a payment processor to register paid webinar attendees

Zapier can help you automatically register paid attendees to your webinar if you are running a paid webinar. You will need to do the following:

• You can use an app to collect payments from your attendees, like PayPal or Eventbrite. You’ll need a website, landing page, or similar to embed your PayPal button if you’re using PayPal to collect payment.
• Use Zapier to connect them.
• An authorized Zoom Webinar Add-on user (500, 1000, 3000, 5000, 10000, or 50000)

Zoom is automatically connected to your payment processing app by Zapier in the background. Your payment collection app’s new order or payment will trigger Zapier. A “New Order” trigger in Eventbrite or a “Successful Sale” trigger in PayPal are good examples. Therefore, Zapier will launch the automated workflow whenever a successful order is captured.

The Action event should be set to “Create Registrant” in Zoom. You can set up this workflow step-by-step by clicking “Use this Zap”.
