AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Zoom General serves as a strategic starting point for developers and architects to navigate the Zoom ecosystem. It provides a structured workflow to classify integration requirements, identify the correct Zoom product surface (such as APIs, SDKs, or webhooks), and determine the necessary authentication model. By guiding users through a decision-making process, it ensures that developers select the right tool for their specific use case before routing to more specialized skills.

What it does

  • Classifies integration jobs based on desired outcomes like embedding meetings or automating resources.
  • Maps requirements to specific Zoom surfaces including REST APIs, WebSockets, and various SDKs.
  • Provides guidance on selecting the correct authentication and scope model for an integration.
  • Facilitates routing to specialized skills once the product context is established.
  • Offers comparative context for tasks that span multiple Zoom product boundaries.

When to use it

  • When you are in the early stages of planning a Zoom integration and need to choose the right app type.
  • When you need to compare different Zoom surfaces to determine which fits your technical requirements.
  • When a task involves multiple Zoom products and requires a high-level architectural approach.
  • When you need to confirm the correct authentication flow for a specific integration scenario.

Advantages

  • Prevents premature selection of tools by enforcing a structured classification process.
  • Clarifies the distinction between user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, and SDK signatures.
  • Reduces complexity by routing users to narrow, specialized skills after initial planning.
  • Provides a clear decision matrix for choosing between General Apps, Server-to-Server OAuth, and Webhook Only apps.

Usage examples

“I want to build an app that automates meeting reports. Which Zoom app type should I use?”
The agent will guide you to classify the job as backend automation, leading to the recommendation of Server-to-Server OAuth for its lack of user interaction requirements.
“Should I use the Meeting SDK or the Video SDK for my project?”
The agent will help you compare the two based on your specific embedding needs and surface requirements, ensuring you choose the correct SDK for your use case.

Documentation by Zoom

Zoom General

Use this skill for cross-product platform context after the user’s goal is understood. For first-step routing, prefer start, plan-zoom-product, or plan-zoom-integration.

Workflow

  1. Classify the job by outcome: embed meetings, custom video, automate resources, consume events, process media, use meeting intelligence, or publish a Marketplace app.

  2. Choose the Zoom surface that owns the behavior: REST API, webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Phone, Contact Center, Virtual Agent, Scribe, Rivet, or Cobrowse.

  3. Confirm auth and scope model before implementation; Zoom surfaces differ on user-level OAuth, account-level OAuth, and SDK signatures.

  4. Route to the narrow skill once the surface is chosen rather than keeping broad guidance in context.

  5. Use the preserved guide only when a task crosses product boundaries or needs detailed comparison tables.

Meeting Automation

Schedule, update, and delete Zoom meetings programmatically.

Overview

Use the Zoom REST API to automate meeting management - create meetings, update settings, manage participants, and delete meetings without manual intervention.

If your primary goal is deterministic backend automation, stay on REST API.

Skills Needed

  • zoom-rest-api - Primary

Prerequisites

  • Server-to-Server OAuth or OAuth app

  • meeting:write scope

Quick Start

# Create a meeting
curl -X POST "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "topic": "Automated Meeting",
    "type": 2,
    "start_time": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z",
    "duration": 60
  }'

Common Tasks

Creating Recurring Meetings
const axios = require('axios');

// Daily recurring meeting
async function createDailyMeeting() {
  const response = await axios.post(
    'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings',
    {
      topic: 'Daily Standup',
      type: 8,  // Recurring with fixed time
      start_time: '2024-01-15T09:00:00Z',
      duration: 15,
      timezone: 'America/Los_Angeles',
      recurrence: {
        type: 1,  // Daily
        repeat_interval: 1,  // Every day
        end_times: 90  // 90 occurrences
      },
      settings: {
        join_before_host: true,
        waiting_room: false,
        mute_upon_entry: true
      }
    },
    {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    }
  );

  return response.data;
}

// Weekly recurring meeting
async function createWeeklyMeeting() {
  const response = await axios.post(
    'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings',
    {
      topic: 'Weekly Team Sync',
      type: 8,
      start_time: '2024-01-15T14:00:00Z',
      duration: 60,
      recurrence: {
        type: 2,  // Weekly
        repeat_interval: 1,
        weekly_days: '2,4',  // Monday, Wednesday (1=Sun, 2=Mon, etc.)
        end_date_time: '2024-12-31T00:00:00Z'
      }
    },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );

  return response.data;
}
Updating Meeting Settings
// Update meeting details
async function updateMeeting(meetingId, updates) {
  await axios.patch(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}`,
    {
      topic: updates.topic,
      start_time: updates.startTime,

    },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}

// Add meeting co-hosts
async function addCoHosts(meetingId, emails) {
  // Co-hosts must be set before meeting starts
  await axios.patch(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}`,
    {
      settings: {
        alternative_hosts: emails.join(';'),
        alternative_hosts_email_notification: true
      }
    },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}
Managing Registrants
// Add registrant
async function addRegistrant(meetingId, registrant) {
  const response = await axios.post(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}/registrants`,
    {
      email: registrant.email,
      first_name: registrant.firstName,
      last_name: registrant.lastName,
      custom_questions: [
        { title: 'Company', value: registrant.company },
        { title: 'Role', value: registrant.role }
      ]
    },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );

  // Returns join_url for the registrant
  return response.data;
}

// List registrants
async function listRegistrants(meetingId, status = 'approved') {
  // status: 'pending', 'approved', 'denied'
  const response = await axios.get(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}/registrants?status=${status}`,
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );

  return response.data.registrants;
}

// Approve/deny registrants
async function updateRegistrantStatus(meetingId, registrantId, action) {
  // action: 'approve', 'deny', 'cancel'
  await axios.put(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}/registrants/status`,
    {
      action: action,
      registrants: [{ id: registrantId }]
    },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}
Deleting/Canceling Meetings
// Delete meeting
async function deleteMeeting(meetingId, notifyHosts = true) {
  await axios.delete(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}?schedule_for_reminder=${notifyHosts}`,
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}

// Delete specific occurrence of recurring meeting
async function deleteOccurrence(meetingId, occurrenceId) {
  await axios.delete(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}?occurrence_id=${occurrenceId}`,
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}

// End a live meeting
async function endMeeting(meetingId) {
  await axios.put(
    `https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}/status`,
    { action: 'end' },
    { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }}
  );
}
Rate Limit Considerations
OperationLimit
Create/Update meetings100 per user per day
API calls (Light)30/sec (Pro), 80/sec (Business+)
API calls (Heavy)10/sec (Pro), 40/sec (Business+)
// Implement rate limiting
const Bottleneck = require('bottleneck');

const limiter = new Bottleneck({
  minTime: 100,  // 10 requests per second max
  maxConcurrent: 5
});

const createMeetingLimited = limiter.wrap(createMeeting);
