Time and again, the changes in those patterns have proven a good indicator of emerging trends and a strong reflection of change in software markets. The current global crisis caused by COVID-19 is, unsurprisingly, creating a large shift to tools that support remote work.

There are a couple of ways to automate Zoom meeting scheduling, depending on your needs:
Built-in Zoom Functionality:
Recurring Meetings: Zoom itself offers built-in functionality to schedule recurring meetings. When setting up a meeting, you can choose a recurring schedule (daily, weekly, etc.) and how long the recurrence should last. This is a simple solution for meetings that happen at the same time each week or month.
Third-Party Tools:
Zapier: If you need more complex automation, tools like Zapier can connect Zoom with your calendar app (like Google Calendar or Outlook) and automate tasks. You can set up "Zaps" (workflows) that automatically create Zoom meetings based on triggers from your calendar or other apps.
Third-Party Scheduling Apps: Services like Calendly or Doodle integrate with Zoom and allow others to schedule meetings with you directly on your calendar. These can be helpful if you frequently meet with people outside your organization.

You can automate a Zoom meeting schedule using a few different methods, depending on your needs and tools available. Here are the most common ways:
1. Using Zoom’s buit-in scheduling with recurrence
2. Using Google Calendar plus Zoom integration
3. Using Microsoft Outlook plus Zoom Plugin
4. Using Zapier
5. Using Zoom API

Assume you use Salesforce + Google Calendar + Zoom + Zapier (no‑code setup):
Trigger:
In Zapier, set a trigger: “New Deal in Salesforce = Status = ‘Closed‑Won’”
Create a calendar event:
Use an action: “Create Google Calendar event” with:
Title = “Onboarding – {{Customer Name}}”
Date/time = today + 1 day at 3:00 PM
Description = “Sales onboarding call”
Automatically create the Zoom meeting:
Next step: “Create Zoom Meeting” (using Zoom’s app in Zapier)
Topic = “Onboarding – {{Customer Name}}”
Start time, duration, and timezone pulled from the Google Calendar event
Zapier returns the Zoom meeting URL and meeting ID.
Update records and send invites:
Action 1: “Update Salesforce Lead/Opportunity” → add the Zoom link in a custom field.
Action 2: “Send Gmail/Outlook email” → send the Zoom details to the customer using a template.
Now, every time a new deal closes,
A Zoom meeting is created automatically
A calendar event is added
The Zoom link populates in Salesforce and is emailed to the customer
What this looks like in practice
Before automation: 10 deals/day = 50–100 minutes of manual work.
After automation: you just log the deal; the rest runs silently in the background.

Yes! It will make WebEx seem like a cassette when CDs came out. Teams is also the easiest of WebEx, Zoom, and Teams to find your page to share without sharing your email, then your other unrelated thing, etc.

I think it could since it is integrated personal chat and instant meetings
