Use case

Instead of this: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83456429326?pwd=1hVesbyHCsOfstyVU3z4CR6D46A8K.1

share this: mydomain.com/meet-me

Do you ever wish you had one, simple URL that you can share with people to hop on a Zoom meeting? πŸ˜ƒ

You could waste time: πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

  • creating a recurring Zoom meeting 😫
  • saving the link somewhere πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
  • finding it, copying it each time you need it 😭
  • sharing an ugly long link with everyone 🀒

Or...

You could create a 🌹 beautiful link using your own domain/website that redirects to your Zoom meeting, and share that beautified URL with everyone. 😌 And it will be easy for you to remember πŸ’‘

> NOTE Zoom now forces a one-year max lifetime on recurring videos. 😐 So I created this simple workflow to solve a few headaches. ☺️

What this workflow does

  • Triggers once, annually (360 days)
  • Creates a new, recurring meeting in Zoom
  • Updates a redirect script with the new Zoom URL on a Wordpress Page
  • Notifies you in a Slack channel

What this workflow lacks in breakthrough innovation, it makes up for with usefulness and peace of mind.

Have fun and make it your own!

Setup

  1. Add your credentials in each node
    1. this pre-requires you have a Zoom, Wordpress and Slack account, and have gotten API access on those accounts
  2. Create a Page in Wordpress, and get its ID. (Or create a new Page in WP.)
  3. Configure node parameters according to your needs.
  4. TEST!!!! Don't ever skip this step. Ever.
  5. Set it and forget it.

> NOTE You can replace the Wordpress node with another website CMS node, or generic HTTP request for a non-wordpress site. You can also remove or replace the Slack node with other notification functionality (eg. sms, whatsapp, email...)
