# Zoom Transcript Integration
Easily receive and automate Zoom meeting transcripts in Botpress for meetings hosted by specific Zoom users.
## How It Works
1. **Zoom meeting ends** → Zoom sends a webhook when transcript is ready.
2. **Integration filters `host_id`** → Only allows events from specified Zoom user(s).
3. **Transcript is fetched and cleaned** → Downloaded from Zoom and converted to plain text.
4. **Event emitted** → A `transcriptReceived` event with `meetingUUID` and `transcript` is available to your flows.
---
## Usage
- **Trigger workflows** → Add a "Listen to Event" card for `transcriptReceived`.
- **Access data** → Use `event.payload.meetingUUID` and `event.payload.transcript` in flows.
- **Store transcripts** → Save to tables for later analysis or reporting.

## Prerequisites
You must be:
- A Zoom **account owner**, **admin**, or have the **“Zoom for Developers” role** to be able to create the Zoom OAuth App
- On a **Zoom premium plan** (free tier doesn't support cloud recordings)
---
## Step-by-Step Setup
### 1. Create a Zoom OAuth App
- Visit: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/](https://marketplace.zoom.us/)
- Go to **Develop > Build App** → Choose **Server-to-Server OAuth** → Name your app
- On the **App Credentials** page, copy:
- **Account ID**
- **Client ID**
- **Client Secret**
You’ll use these in your Botpress integration configuration later.
- In **Information**, fill out the necessary information about yourself and the app.
- In **Features**, copy the **Secret Token**
- In **Scopes**, add:
cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings:admin
cloud_recording:read:list_recording_files:admin
cloud_recording:read:recording:admin
- Activate the app under the **Activation** tab
### 2. Get Zoom `host_id`
You can find your Zoom `host_id` directly from the Zoom web portal.
#### Steps:
1. Log in to your Zoom account and navigate to:
**Zoom Admin Panel > User Management > Users**
2. Click on the name of the user you want to get the `host_id` for.
3. Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. It will be in this format:
https://yourdomain.zoom.us/user/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/profile you want to copy the xxxxxxxxxxxxx as that is your host_id
---
### 3. Configure the Botpress Integration
- Install this integration into your Bot
- Paste:
- `Zoom Client ID`
- `Zoom Client Secret`
- `Zoom Account ID`
- `Secret Token`
- `Allowed Zoom User IDs` → Paste your `host_id` (you can include multiple)
Click **Save Configuration**.
---
### 4. Set Webhook in Zoom
Back in your Zoom OAuth App:
- Go to **Features** → Enable **Event Subscriptions**
- Name: `Transcript Received` (Can choose a different name as well)
- Method: `Webhook`
- Endpoint URL: use the **Botpress integration URL**
- Add Events:
- Under **Recording**:
- `All recordings have completed`
- `Recording transcript files have completed`
- Click **Done**
- Click **Validate** next to the endpoint URL (you should see Validated)
- Click **Save**
---
## Done!
Your Botpress bot will now receive transcripts for allowed Zoom users when cloud recordings complete. Make sure:
- You **record to the cloud**
- You’re on a **paid Zoom plan**
- You’ve correctly added all intended `host_id`s
