      Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Creating a Zoom App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The very first step is to create a Zoom App which can be mapped or installed into your account, for creating an app you need to login into your existing Zoom Webinar Account then open their developer portal by visiting https:\/\/developers.zoom.us\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      After login to the developer account then click on “Build App” button as shown below;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Then you will able to see a window as shown below, select the “Webhook” Only and Click on Create button;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Then give a name to the Webhook App for your reference <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Now you will see a window like below and fill all the details needed;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You will see a page as below where you need to enable the Event Subscription and “Add New Event Subscription” to receive events to the Webhook.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Now you can give a name to the event then copy and paste the Webhook URL from Picky Assist to Event Notification Endpoint URL as shown in the below image;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
