Zoom + PagerDuty Integration Benefits

• Responders can quickly create on-demand Zoom meetings with the click of a button from a PagerDuty incident.
• Incident Workflows can create on-demand Zoom meetings and attach them to incidents.

Requirements

To Configure the Integration

In PagerDuty:

Users with Admin/Global Admin or Account Owner roles can configure the integration.

In Zoom:
Users with administrator permissions can configure the integration.

To Use the Integration

PagerDuty users with a Responder role or higher can create Zoom meetings via incidents.

How it Works

• On a PagerDuty incident, responders can create an incident-specific Zoom ID by clicking a link or they can optionally run a pre-configured Incident Workflow. This information is sent as an event to AWS Lambda, which transforms it to a Zoom-compatible format and it creates a meeting ID. Note: The meeting ID is incident-specific and cannot be used for other incidents.
• Once the meeting ID has been created, this information is sent back through the same Lambda to PagerDuty, creating a conference bridge with the meeting ID information.
• Responders can join the Zoom conference bridge directly from the incident in the web app and mobile app, via conference bridge notifications, or they can use One Touch to Join.

Follow the Incident Workflows guide and select the Create a Zoom Meeting Action. After publishing, you can then create a Zoom meeting via the Incident Workflow.

Enable Zoom Settings for Optimal Use

By default, when responders create Zoom meetings from incidents, the integration will check to see if the responder's PagerDuty email matches their Zoom email. If it does, it will create the Zoom meeting ID on their account. If the email does not match, the meeting ID will be created on the Zoom account of the administrator who configured the integration.

If the account where the Zoom meeting ID is created does not have Join before host enabled for both the Account and Group level, other users will not be able to join the meeting until this administrator joins as the host. Please read Zoom's documentation on how to enable Join before host on both the Account level and the Group level.
