Node.js

A way to expose your localhost server so your Chatbot can be installed and tested on the Zoom Client. In this tutorial, I’ve used Ngrok.

In your JWT App settings in the Zoom App Marketplace, click on the "Features" page. Turn event subscriptions on and add a new event subscription. Name it Meeting Webhook and add https://zoom.us as the "Event notification endpoint URL". Click "Add events" and click "Meeting" > "End Meeting". Note the "Verification Token" generated above.

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/tommygaessler/webhook.git

Navigate to the cloned directory:

$ cd webhook

Install the dependencies:

$ npm install

Create your .env file for your webhook verification token.

$ touch .env

Paste the following in your .env file:

verification_token=[verification token found in features page in your app marketplace settings]

Example: verification_token=7jVtpikLTYO_9WDV91AA

Run $ npm start to start the webhook server.

We need to expose the local server to the internet to accept post requests, I use Ngrok (free) for this.

Once installed, open a new terminal tab and run:

$ ngrok http 4000

NOTE: I've put ngrok in my PATH so I can call it globally.

Copy the ngrok https url displayed in terminal, in your apps Event notification endpoint URL input, remove https://zoom.us and paste your ngrok https url. Remember to include /webhook path.

Example: https://e2d5fb925400.ngrok.io/webhook

Click "Save".

Start and end a Zoom meeting. You will see the Meeting Ended Webhook payload logged in terminal.
