Custom, designated URL for recurring Zoom meetings

Do you ever wish you had one, simple URL that you can share with people to hop on a Zoom?

You could:

  • create a recurring Zoom meeting
  • save the link somewhere
  • find it, copy it, paste it each time you need it
  • share an ugly long link with everyone

Or…you could create a beautiful link using your own domain/website that redirects to your Zoom meeting, and share that beautified URL with everyone.

And that was all fine and good until Zoom forced a one-year max lifetime on recurring videos.

So I created a simple workflow to recreate a recurring Zoom meeting with the right settings I needed, update the redirection page on the (Wordpress) website, and notify in Slack. And the chron triggers this to happen once per year - well, a bit less but the principle is there.

What this workflow lacks in breakthrough innovation, for me it makes up for with usefulness and peace of mind.

Have fun and make it your own!

NOTE
You can replace the Wordpress node with another website CMS node, or generic HTTP request for a non-wordpress site.
You can also remove or replace the Slack node with other notification functionality (eg. sms, whatsapp, email…)
