The Zoom + UI integration helps your team automatically generate unique Zoom links for confirmed sessions, saving the time and hassle of manually creating and sharing links with participants. The link will be included on confirmation and reminder emails to participants, so no need to send the link to them yourself. You can set the moderator at the project or session level, giving your team flexibility on who leads a session. Let’s get started!

Accessing Zoom links

You can always access a session link in the "Confirmed sessions" section of your project, as well as from the calendar event and day of sessions reminder email.

Calendar events

Your Zoom link will populate in a calendar event for synced calendars. You'll notice the link is not a Zoom link—we do that so should you update the link (eg if you switch moderators) you'll still be able to access your session from your calendar.

Reminder email

On the day of sessions, you'll receive an email with information for each session: the session time, participant's name, Zoom link, etc. You'll notice the link is not a Zoom link—we do that so should you update the link (eg if you switch moderators) you'll still be able to access a session from that email.

💡If you do not have a Zoom account, or want to include a different link type for participants such as Google Meet, Webex, etc., learn how to do that here.

Tips

• If you update the location link, the link will also be updated for the participant so when clicked they are sent to the most current location.
• If you have changed meeting link providers after the participant was confirmed (ex. Zoom to Google Meet), we recommend letting the participant know, just so they can have any necessary software prepared and tested prior to the session.
• If when the participant confirmed their session there was NOT a default and/or session link, we strongly recommend adding the link no later than 24 hours before their confirmed session to ensure they receive the link in the reminder email. Links added within 24 hours of the session where there wasn’t a default and/or session link before may not be automatically emailed to the participant.
