Create Zoom Meetings & Add Participants with Online Forms

Zoom meetings have become commonplace over the last year as we all find different ways to communicate remotely. Suitable for all people and topics, the ‘zoom meeting’ is quickly becoming the new way to meet. Work meetings, family get-togethers, and classes use video conferencing to reduce physical contact.

Lots of other services exist for virtual meetings, and Zoom’s simple setup and reliability made it the go-to video service. Formsite and Zapier lets form owners create Zoom meetings and add participants with every form submission. Use online forms to schedule Zoom meetings with these easy steps.

Zoom Actions

The available actions for Zoom are as easy as the service:

• Create meeting or webinar
• Add registrant

For meetings already scheduled or using a recurring link, the Zap can add registrants. During the Zap setup, the Zoom integration can optionally send a confirmation email.

As with the other integrations, everything starts with the form. Use the form builder to make the meeting request or scheduling form, then complete a test result. Click the View Form button to see the form and complete a test result with sample data for Zapier.
