Complete the following steps to enable synchronization of Fonteva events with Zoom meetings and webinars.

Important: A Zoom account is required to complete this procedure. If you do not already have a Zoom account, you can create one here.

Step 1: Create an OAuth App in Zoom

Create a Zoom OAuth App to authorize Fonteva to connect with your Zoom account. OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard authorization protocol that enables Webinar Sync to obtain requested access to Zoom user accounts.

Best Practice: Use similar names when creating the Zoom OAuth app and Webinar Sync connection. Doing so will make it easy to discern which Zoom OAuth apps are associated with your Webinar Sync connections.

  1. Go to the Zoom App Marketplace.

  2. In the top right corner, select Sign In and log in with your Zoom credentials.

  3. Select Develop > Build App.

  4. In the OAuth tile, select Create. The Create an OAuth app modal opens.

  5. In the App Name field, enter a name for your app. 

  6. Select Account-level app

Step 2: Create a Zoom Connection in Fonteva

After creating an OAuth app in the Zoom App Marketplace, configure a Zoom Connection in Fonteva Events. This section requires you to copy information between Fonteva and the Zoom OAuth app created in the previous section. For ease of use, keep the Zoom App Marketplace and Fonteva open in separate browser tabs.

Note: Only Staff users with the System Administrator profile can configure connections.

Create a New Auth Provider

  5. Select Create New Auth Provider. The Add New “Zoom” Connection modal displays a message noting that the auth provider was created successfully.

  6. Select Update Auth Provider with Client ID & Secret. The Setup Auth. Providers window opens in a new browser tab.

  7. Return to the Lightning Experience | Salesforce browser tab. In the Add New “Zoom” Connection modal, select Save.

  8. Return to the Auth. Providers | Salesforce browser tab. Select Edit.

  9. Update the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret fields with values copied from the App Credentials tab in the Zoom OAuth app created in Step 1.

    1. In the Consumer Key field, remove the default entry and paste the value from the Zoom OAuth app Client ID field.

    2. In the Consumer Secret field, remove the default entry and paste the value from the Zoom OAuth app Client Secret field.

  10. Select Save.
