Last updated
The integration between MangoApps and Zoom is designed to streamline organizing and participating in online meetings directly within MangoApps. This out-of-the-box capability allows event organizers to set up Zoom meetings effortlessly without accessing the Zoom desktop or web applications.
With this integration, event organizers can automatically generate a Zoom link for attendees, easily scheduling meetings. This functionality enhances productivity, simplifies workflows, and ensures a smooth user experience for both organizers and participants.
MangoApps Domain Admin Role: Required to enable event integration.
To get started on the MangoApps side, Log in to your MangoApps domain using your preferred sign-in method.
After log in, we will first configure the admin portal settings for the integration.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner to open the options menu. Select the Manage Domain option from the menu (visible only for users with the Network Admin role).
In the Admin Portal, click Modules on the left-hand navigation menu and navigate to Calendar. Click the Module Settings button to access the Calendar module settings.
In the Calendar Module Settings, go to the Integration tab and toggle Zoom Meeting to ON.
A confirmation message will appear at the top of the page, indicating that Zoom Meeting integration is enabled.
Next, we will schedule an event which will be using a Zoom link.
Navigate to the User Portal. If currently viewing the Admin Portal, click your profile picture in the top right corner and select Go to User Portal.
Once in the User Portal, click the global compose button and select Event.
Or navigate to the Calendar module and click Create an Event from the Calendar Tools drop down menu on the right hand side.
In the Create Event dialog box, set the Event Type to “Online” and set the Event Link as Zoom Meeting.
If not already logged in to Zoom, you will be prompted to log in and authenticate your Zoom account.
Clicking on Login required will redirect you to the zoom account login page. Follow the prompts to log in to your Zoom account and grant the necessary permissions.
After authentication, MangoApps will configure the event link as a Zoom meeting. In order for the process to continue, make sure to consent to the MangoApps permission request in Zoom by clicking the Allow button.
On granting permission, you will be redirected back to MangoApps event creation. The Event Link will now show as below, indicating the link has configured to set a Zoom meeting for the respective event.
From this point, event organizers can complete event creation by filling in the rest of the detail fields and clicking the Create button. Once successfully created, the event will show with the Zoom meeting link in both the Calendar module and widget.
Participanting users will see the event invite in their MangoApps newsfeed.
At the scheduled date/time, participants can click the provided Zoom link to join the meeting directly in Zoom.
