Zoom Webhooks

Receive real-time event notifications from Zoom services.

Prerequisites

• Zoom app with Event Subscriptions enabled
• HTTPS endpoint to receive webhooks
• Webhook secret token for verification

Quick Start

// Express.js webhook handler
const crypto = require('crypto');

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  // Verify webhook signature
  const signature = req.headers['x-zm-signature'];
  const timestamp = req.headers['x-zm-request-timestamp'];
  const payload = `v0:${timestamp}:${JSON.stringify(req.body)}`;
  const hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    .update(payload).digest('hex');

  if (signature !== `v0=${hash}`) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
  }

  // Handle event
  const { event, payload } = req.body;
  console.log(`Received: ${event}`);

  res.status(200).send();
});
