Batch create Zoom links for events

Creating Zoom links in bulk for multiple events isn’t directly supported through Zoom’s standard web interface, but it can be efficiently done using Zoom’s API or third-party automation tools. Here’s a straightforward guide to batch-create Zoom meeting links for events:

Method 1: Using Zoom API (For Developers)

1. Get Zoom API Access:

   • Sign up for a Zoom Developer account.

   • Create a JWT or OAuth app to get API credentials (API key & secret).

2. Prepare Your Events List:

   • Organize your events with details like topic, start time, duration, etc., in a CSV or JSON format.

3. Write a Script to Create Meetings:

   • Use a scripting language like Python or JavaScript.

   • Loop through your events list.

   • For each event, call Zoom’s Create a Meeting API.

Example Python snippet using requests:

python
CopyEdit
import requests
import json

API_KEY = 'your_api_key'
API_SECRET = 'your_api_secret'
TOKEN = 'your_jwt_or_oauth_token'

headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {TOKEN}',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

events = [
    {'topic': 'Event 1', 'start_time': '2025-06-01T10:00:00Z', 'duration': 60},
    {'topic': 'Event 2', 'start_time': '2025-06-02T14:00:00Z', 'duration': 30},
    # Add more events here
]

for event in events:
    payload = {
        "topic": event['topic'],
        "type": 2,  # Scheduled meeting
        "start_time": event['start_time'],
        "duration": event['duration'],
        "timezone": "UTC",
    }
    response = requests.post('https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings', headers=headers, json=payload)
    meeting = response.json()
    print(f"Meeting for {event['topic']}: {meeting.get('join_url')}")

4. Extract and Save the Meeting Links:

   • Save the join_url from each response.

   • Distribute or embed them wherever needed.

Method 2: Use Third-Party Automation (No Coding)

• Zapier / Make (Integromat): Connect Zoom with Google Sheets or Excel.

• Prepare your events list in a spreadsheet.

• Set up a Zap or scenario that creates Zoom meetings for each row.

• Automatically collect the generated links back into your sheet.

Method 3: Bulk Scheduling via Zoom Bulk Import (Limited)

Zoom offers bulk import for webinars but not meetings, so this is mostly for webinar events.

Batch creating Zoom meeting links requires some automation via API or third-party tools. The API approach is the most flexible and scalable for hundreds of events.
