Integrating Zoom Meetings and Webinars with ClickFunnels

With the Zoom integration, you can seamlessly connect your Zoom account to ClickFunnels. This allows you to send contacts from ClickFunnels directly to your Zoom Meetings or Webinars. In this guide, you will learn how to set up the integration, understand its features, and utilize workflows to manage contact registration in Zoom.


Requirements

  • An active ClickFunnels account

  • A Zoom account

    Note:

    Webinars are a premium feature in Zoom and require an upgraded Zoom account.


Zoom Integration Overview

The integration of Zoom with ClickFunnels is an easy process. By granting permission to your Zoom account, you allow ClickFunnels to seamlessly transmit contact details to your Zoom Meetings or Webinars without requiring manual API key entry or complex technical configurations.

With this integration, you can:

  • Register contacts for Zoom Meetings and Webinars.

  • Leverage ClickFunnels workflows to automate the process of sending contacts to Zoom.

  • Simplify contact management by mapping necessary fields.


Integrating Zoom with ClickFunnels

Follow these steps to connect your Zoom account with ClickFunnels:

  1. From the ClickFunnels dashboard, click Workspace Settings in the left sidebar.

  2. Select Integrations.

  3. Click Connect Integration.

  4. Choose Zoom from the list of available apps.

  5. When prompted, review the integration details after logging in to your Zoom account and authorize ClickFunnels to connect.

  6. Once connected, the integration status will be Active on the Integrations page.

Note:

ClickFunnels includes the Appointments app that allows you to create events for customer appointments and set up conferencing connections. This feature enables users to join conferences directly from the calendar. You may connect Zoom as a conferencing connection directly within the Appointments app under Conferencing Connection. However, connecting Zoom through the Integrations menu does not automatically add it as a conferencing connection, and vice versa. For detailed guidance, see our article Appointments - How to Add a Conferencing Connection to learn how to connect Zoom or similar conferencing applications in the Appointments app.


Preparing Zoom Meetings or Webinars

Step 1: Create a Zoom Meeting or Webinar

  1. Log in to your Zoom account using your credentials.

  2. From the Zoom dashboard, select either Meetings or Webinars based on your requirements.

  3. Click on Schedule a Meeting or Schedule a Webinar.

  4. Fill in the event details such as:

    • Topic: Name your meeting or webinar.

    • Date and Time: Specify when the event will take place.

    • Duration: Set the expected length of the session.

    • Time Zone: Choose the appropriate time zone for your audience.

  5. In the settings, ensure the Registration option is enabled. Double-check that the Required option is selected.

For detailed instructions on creating a Zoom Meeting or Webinar, refer to Zoom's official documentation.

Step 2: Managing Last Name Requirements

  1. When you create an event (e.g., Meeting, Webinar), Zoom sets the Last Name field as required for registrations. However, this requirement can be turned off if it is not necessary for your event. You can adjust this setting in the Registration settings under the Questions tab by unchecking the option for "Last Name" as a required field and saving your changes.

  2. If the Last Name is marked as required in Zoom, ensure that:

    • You collect the Last Name field in your ClickFunnels pages.

    • Or, the contact's profile in ClickFunnels includes a Last Name.

  3. If you don’t need the Last Name for your event, you can turn off this requirement in the event settings:

    For Meetings:

    • Navigate to the Meetings tab in your Zoom account.

    • Select the meeting you want to modify.

    • Go to the Registration menu and click Edit in the Registration Options section.

    • In the open prompt, click the Questions tab.

    • Uncheck the Last Name field as required and save your changes.

    For Webinars:

    • Navigate to the Webinars tab in your Zoom account.

    • Select the webinar you want to modify.

    • Go to the Invitations menu and click Edit in the Registration Settings section.

    • In the open prompt, click the Questions tab.

    • Uncheck the Last Name field as required and save your changes.

  2. Create a new workflow or open an existing one.

Step 2: Add a Workflow Trigger

  1. Add a Trigger to define the action that will send contacts to Zoom. A workflow trigger is an event or condition that initiates an automated process within ClickFunnels.

  2. Examples of triggers include opt-in form submissions, course completions, survey registrations, and more.

Learn more about setting up workflow triggers in our article How to Manage Workflow Triggers.

Step 3: Add the 3rd Party Integration Workflow Step

  2. Select Zoom from the list of integrations.

  3. Choose the appropriate Zoom account linked to ClickFunnels.

  2. Select a session from the list.

  3. Map the required fields:

    • Email (required)

    • Last Name (conditionally required)

      Important:

      The Last Name field is only required if the Zoom event has it enabled in the registration settings. Ensure you either collect the last name in your ClickFunnels page or disable this requirement in Zoom if it is not needed.

  4. Click Next and then Save to finalize the workflow step.

  5. Once the workflow is complete, click Enable at the top-right corner to activate it.
