Integrating with Zoom

How to connect your Zoom account to HoneyBook's Scheduling tool

Updated over a week ago

Zoom is a virtual video conferencing tool that can be used in conjunction with the HoneyBook Scheduler and Calendar Meetings.

📣 Note

This article references session types. Members on the Starter plan can create up to 1 session type, while Essentials and Premium plan members can create unlimited sessions. Learn more about the features included in each plan here.


Integrating Zoom and HoneyBook

1. From any page, click your profile photo in the top right corner of your screen.

2. Select Company Settings from the menu.

3. Click the Integrations tab.

4. In the Zoom Integration section, click Connect.

5. Follow the authentication prompts to allow HoneyBook access to your Zoom information by clicking Authorize.

📣 Note

Take note of exactly which email Zoom uses for this integration, as you must use that email to access the meeting. If you're signed into another email and attempt to join the video call, you will join as a participant and not as the host, and may get stuck in the meeting's waiting room.


Now, Zoom and HoneyBook will start sharing information so you can easily connect your Zoom Links to Session Types in HoneyBook. You can check out the Zoom Help Center for more information on optimizing your Zoom account.


How to Disconnect Zoom

Once connected, the only option you'll see in the Zoom section of your Integrations Tab is to Disconnect your Zoom account via a Disconnect Button. If you'd like to remove your Zoom integration, simply click that Disconnect Button.
