Managing API client access to Zoom

The Certero connector for Zoom uses Zoom’s APIs to connect and retrieve data from Zoom.  The Zoom APIs use industry standard OAuth 2.0 protocols for authentication and authorization.

For more information on what OAuth is and how this flow works between an endpoint server and Zoom, please see the following link:

Zoom OAuth2 Overview

To setup a connection between Certero and Zoom, the customer will first need to ensure they have created an application in the Zoom App Marketplace to allow the Certero for Cloud Zoom connector to access data.

Note: The Zoom connector inventory will only connect and work correctly when it is run against a paid Zoom account. Running the inventory fails when you run it against a free account.
