Zoom integration with the Timetics Booking Plugin makes it easy to add video meetings directly to your bookings. When a customer schedules an appointment, Zoom meeting links are automatically generated, and the meeting is scheduled right within the Timetics system.
There are two ways to integrate Zoom with Timetics:
- Server-to-Server OAuth: This method works automatically in the background, allowing Timetics to handle Zoom meetings without needing user interaction. It’s ideal for businesses that want seamless, automated scheduling of appointments and meetings, as Zoom meeting creation and scheduling are managed directly from the Timetics booking platform.
- General App: This method requires the user to log in to their Zoom account and grant permission. It gives users more control over their Zoom settings while integrating with the Timetics booking system. Users can directly manage meeting preferences and configurations, such as passwords or waiting rooms.
Both methods simplify managing online meetings, but your choice depends on whether you prefer automated integration or want more user control over Zoom settings while scheduling.
