How to schedule a Zoom meeting with a customer?

Scenario 1 – automatically from CRM
– Create an automation rule that schedules a Zoom meeting in the Leads or Deals.
– Create an automation rule that sends the scheduled Zoom invitation link to your customer.


Scenario 2 – manually from CRM
– Open a Lead (or Deal, Contact, Company) in CRM. Click the dropdown menu in the action log in the right column and click "Bitconf" item;
– In the pop-up window create a new meeting or choose any of the existing ones;
– The invitation link for will be saved to the dedicated field of the Lead (or Deal, Contact, Company) and shown to you in the log. Copy it or send directly from there. Sometimes Bitrix24 is slow to show it instantly, so just refresh the page to see the link generated.

Scenario 3 – manually from Calendar
– In the Bitconf app settings check the box for option "Automatically create Zoom meeting for every event in Bitrix24 calendar and add invitation link to it"
– Go to Calendar. Add an Event and save it.
– Wait for a couple of seconds and re-open the Event you've just added.
– Check the Description of the Event – the Zoom link is there. Share it with your customer.




How to know if a customer joined a Zoom conference or webinar?

This feature is available on Zoom paid tariffs. When customer joins or leaves your Zoom session, Bitconf adds this information to the Lead log in B24. So you will know if he/she ever participated and how much time spent there for sure. Plan your further actions based on that information.
Please note: If you have sent the invitation link to many customers, you will see all their names in the Lead log.



How to build an automatic funnel with Zoom?

Use Bitrix24 automation rules and workflows, just make sure you have this option on your tariff.
You will need just two automation rules (also known as CRM robots):
– First automation rule will create a Zoom meeting from scratch in the Leads or Deals, and generate an invitation link. For a webinar it will fetch the link from Zoom. The link is automatically saved to the field "Zoom (Bitconf)".
– Second automation rule will send the invitation link for this meeting or webinar to your customer through email, sms/text or any other options you have in your Bitrix24 account.



How to create a Lead automatically for every participant registered for Zoom meeting?

1. Create a Zoom meeting. Enable "Require registration" in its settings.
2. In the Bitconf settings enable the "Automatically create Leads from all getting registered in Zoom" option.
3. Manually create a Lead (this can be even not a real one, just for technical purpose) in Bitrix24. In it click Bitconf and choose Invite for the meeting you've created on Step 1. (You can also choose "Unique Invite" here, but it will only work properly if your registration form does not have mandatory fields. So we recommend to choose just basic Invite).
That's it! Now all the registered participants data will be downloaded from Zoom and saved to this Lead in JSON and CSV formats as soon as the meeting will be finished. AND Bitconf will automatically create a separate Lead for every registrant, wh ere all the individual registration data will also be copied.



What to do, if you have many colleagues both in Zoom and Bitrix24, and everyone has several meetings/webinars?

In the Bitconf app settings choose an Employee sync page. Choose what users correspond in both services, and Save the settings once finished. This will make easier for you to orient through total agenda and create meetings for specific colleagues.

  1. Zoom meeting starting time is now added to the Event description in Calendar.
  2. Zoom meeting recordings can now be saved to the Bitrix24 Company Drive.
  3. Plus 15 more enhancements including Zoom API interaction optimisation.

Version 19

  1. Matching users became easier. Now you have a special button in the 'Employee Sync' tab to automatically match users based on their email address. This is especially comfortable for those who have many users in B24. Don't forget to click 'Save' button down the page after matching.
  2. Automatic meeting settings update. If you create Zoom meetings for B24 calendar events, and then change this event settings (date, time, duration), they will be changed in the Zoom meeting settings accordingly. Please, note: Zoom allows not more than 100 such changes per day.

Version 18
Two new fields added to all CRM entities (Lead, Deal, Contact, Company):
- time a participant joined the meeting (UF_CRM_BITCONF_PARTICIPANT_JOINED_AT);
- time a participant left the meeting (UF_CRM_BITCONF_PARTICIPANT_LEFT_AT).

If a participant joins/leaves the meeting several times during the session, the fields will contain the time of his/her first join and the time of his/her last leave accordingly. If many participants joined/left the meeting, the first's join and the last's leave time will be saved into the fields.
Data come from Zoom several (1-5) minutes after the meeting is finished.

Version 17

  1. New automation that allows you to invite people to an already existing meeting (before that it was working only for webinars). To have it working the meeting should be created by a paid tariff Zoom account.
  2. New attendance checkmark. This mark is now a separate field in all CRM entities (Lead, Deal, Contact, Company) and currently supports only meetings (webinars will come soon). If an invited person clicked the meeting link and joined it, the field value will be set as 'true'.
  3. New fields for meeting start and end. These are specially designated fields that keep the time and date (also timezone) of a meeting you invite people to. Webinars aren't supported yet. Based on these you can build other activities and automation like sending notification beforehand or follow-up notes afterwards.

Version 16
If you copy meeting or webinar records from Zoom to Yandex.Disk or Google Drive, links for the records are saved to separate fields now. It is easier to automate their processing now. For instance, if you want to send the records to your customers.

Version 15

This feature works only with meetings that require registration in their settings. To turn the feature on, check the proper box in the Bitconf settings. All leads are created in B24 only upon the meeting is finished. The name of the Lead contains the name of the meeting it had been generated from, so you can better understand wh ere has it come from. Data the participant filled out during registration is copied to the Lead as a comment.

Please, do not hesitate to mail us to support@bitconf.online with all your comments and wishes regarding this feature.

More detailed instruction on how to set up automatic leads generation from Zoom can be found at https://bitconf.online/knowledge-base-en/

Let us remind, the data is collected from Zoom only after the meeting is finished. Also note, this feature supports meetings only, webinars aren't supported yet.

Version 13
If you are on a paid tariff in Zoom, you can request a registration form for the participant to fill out in the meeting settings.

This feature works with Zoom meetings only, webinars are not supported yet. The registrations data is placed into [UF_CRM_BITCONF_PARTICIPANT_REGISTRATION_FORM] field in a JSON format, for you to process it easier. If you find this way not comfortable for you, please do not hesitate to mail us to support@bitconf.online, we will try to implement the way you want it.

Please note: the data is transferred from Zoom to Bitrix24 only after the meeting is ended.

Version 12

This new version brings new functionality to the Bitconf app. You will now have an ability to invite your customers not only to the Zoom meetings, but also to Zoom webinars. The invitation links will be automatically saved to Bitrix24 CRM, making it more convenient for you to automate the invitation process, and provide better experience for your customers.

  • You can invite a customer manually by choosing a webinar from the list, or through an automation rule.

  • The app fetches the invitation link for the webinar requested from Zoom, and saves it to the [Zoom (BITCONF)] field in CRM. You can send this link with another automation rule to your customer by email, text, messenger, or via Workflows depending on your B24 plan and features enabled.

Version 11
– If you have been using automatic Zoom meeting generation for every Event in Bitrix24 Calendar, you may have noticed a lot of pointless Zoom meetings being created. Now you can fix it using a keyword or a code. So next time you want a Zoom meeting generated for for your Event, just add your keyword or code to the Event title.

  3. The app now works even if you have CRM turned off in your Bitrix24 settings.

Version 9
If your Zoom plan allows you to record meetings to the Zoom cloud, you can now automatically copy them to Google Drive. It saves you money.

Version 8
You can now send individual invites to your customers. This feature was developed specially for those, to whom it is important to clearly identify the person joining the Zoom meeting. This is crucial for paid webinars, master classes, lectures, consultations, councils or other Zoom sessions. So once your customer paid, send her/him an unique invite. Bitrix24 will automatically log her/his joining and exiting the session. And this will be very easy for you to control and confirm sales or delivery reports. Nobody will be able to deny the attendance or being served. And if someone tries to cheat and share individual invite across many people, you will know who's attempting to cheat.

Version 7
If your Zoom plan allows you to record meetings to the Zoom cloud, you can now automatically copy them to Yandex.Disk. It is 30 times cheaper. Later we will add Google Drive and Dropbox.

Version 4
–  Schedule a Zoom meeting or choose the existing one – and you will  automatically have a meeting added to both the CRM item log and the  responsible colleague's Bitrix24 calendar.

It usually takes some time to Zoom to prepare the records, so Bitconf waits until they are ready and then copies them.
