Zoom Events

To use this kind of event you only need a Zoom account that you can sync with your Simplero account through a simple integration.

If you haven't yet, please see this guide on how to get your Simplero and your Zoom account synced!

Once the syncing is complete, you will be able to see the events you’ve created under your Zoom account:

If you look at the upcoming events, for example, on the top left you will see :

1- S icon if the event was created from Simplero

2- Z icon if the event was created on Zoom and synced with Simplero

If you click on the Event Title and press the pencil icon in the top right-hand corner, you’ll see the settings you can edit from within Simplero (but everything else must be edited on the event in Zoom):

NOTES! If the event was created in Zoom and you required registration, they will have to register via Zoom’s registration page. But you can also have them register using Simplero’s registration page if you prefer. The best way to do this is to not require Zoom registration but to edit the Zoom event inside of Simplero to then require registration. If they register via Simplero’s registration page, they will automatically show up as a registrant in Zoom.

Why We Generate Login Info

If you select Automatic Approval or Manual Approval under the Registration section in Simplero, the system will generate login information for them and email it to them if they use Simplero’s registration page to sign up:

If they already have login details, we will remind them they need to log in with those details to see their registration status and access the event details:

The same goes for Basic events.

Why do we require login info? We generate login information for event registrants so they can reschedule or cancel their spot if needed, and so we can show them the location of the event only after they sign up.

Triggers on Zoom Events

Under a Zoom event, you will see the same triggers available for all events (when registration is activated) plus these triggers :

• A participant joins an event.

• A participant leaves an event or the event ends.
  

Create a Basic Event with a Zoom Location

If you don’t want to sync your Zoom account or if you want to use a different account from the one integrated with Simplero, you’ll first need to grab the meeting room link from Zoom (by using a recurring Zoom link, or creating the event in Zoom and grabbing the link that’s generated for it).

Then create a Basic Event in Simplero and add the meeting room link that was generated from Zoom to the Location section of the Event in Simplero:

Paste the Zoom link in the Link to the event section, and click on save changes:

This is how it will be a non-recurring Zoom event created by Simplero:

This is how it will be a Recurring zoom event created from Simplero:

On the events summary you will see all upcoming events, Under Location you will see if they will occur on Zoom.

NOTE! If you create a Basic Event and give it a Zoom location (following the steps above), the participants will not sync with your Zoom account. If you want the event to sync with Zoom, you need to create it in Zoom and use our Zoom integration - see our guide on how to do this.
