Configuring Callback URL for Zoom App

To use your Zoom app in Production, it needs to go through a review process. This process requires you to provide a callback URL with your domain name and not Cobalt’s.

To create Callback URL with your domain:

• Create a Proxy API as Callback URL to Zoom.
• Go to your Apps catalog in Cobalt > Search for Zoom > Settings > Use your credentials > Callback Url.
• Pass the API Requests received on the Proxy API to Cobalt’s Callback URL from your server.

Configuring credentials in Cobalt

App settings page lets you configure the authentication settings for an OAuth 2.0 based application. For your customers to provide you authorization to access their data, they would first need to install your application. This page lets you set up your application credentials.

Provide the acquired Client ID and Client Secret under Settings of the app and save it.

​

Configuring Scopes

Cobalt lets you configure what permissions to ask from your users while they install your application. The scopes can be added or removed from the App settings page, under Permissions & Scopes section.

For some applications Cobalt sets mandatory scopes which cannot be removed. Additional scopes can be selected from the drop down. Cobalt also has the provision to add any custom scopes supported by the respective platform.

Once the scopes has been added to the application in Cobalt, go to your Zoom Developer account and update the scopes as added on Cobalt.

Select the OAuth App created for Cobalt > Click on Scopes under App Settings > Add the scopes as added in Cobalt by clicking + Add Scopes > Click on Done.

​

Actions and triggers

Once the above setup is completed, you can create orchestrations of your use-cases using Zoom actions and triggers. Following are the set of Zoom actions and triggers supported by Cobalt.
