Installing the Zoom for Salesforce Lightning app


Before using the Zoom for Salesforce integration, installation must first be done by an account administrator. Admins can install the Zoom app in the Salesforce AppExchange or through the Zoom App Marketplace. Once the initial installation is complete, admins will continue with configuring Salesforce with one or more of the supported Zoom products, including Meetings, Webinars, Phone, Events, and Contact Center.

Prerequisites for installing the Zoom app in Salesforce

Notes:

How to install the Zoom for Salesforce app

  1. Sign in to the Zoom App Marketplace as an account administrator.
  2. In the top right of your screen, enter Zoom for Salesforce Lightning in the search box to find the app.
  3. In your search results, find and click the Zoom for Salesforce Lightning app.
  4. Pre-approve the app (if necessary) and click Add.
    Note: Zoom recommends pre-approving the app for All users on this account, rather than specific users or user groups, as this may cause installation issues further along in the process.
    The installation will redirect you to the listing in Salesforce AppExchange.
  5. Click Get It Now.
    If not already signed-in, you will be prompted to sign in to your Salesforce Trailblazer account.
  6. Follow the on-screen steps to install the app
    You will be prompted to sign in to your Salesforce account.
  7. Sign in to your Salesforce admin account, if necessary.
    You will be prompted to select which users to install this app for.
  8. Select Install for Admins Only and click Install.
    Note: We recommend installing for Admins Only, instead of for All Users, as this provides elevated admin permissions for the Zoom for Salesforce Lightning app within Salesforce. Admins must assign the appropriate permissions for their users, otherwise their end-users will not have access to the Zoom for Salesforce Lightning integration. Instructions on how to assign the default permission sets included with the app are available in the specific configuration guides for Zoom Meetings, Zoom Webinars, Zoom Phone, Zoom Events, and Zoom Contact Center. Custom permission sets can also be used, but for any official troubleshooting, Zoom Support will require adding the default permission sets to the users involved. 
  9. When prompted, verify and approve third-party access, then click Continue.
    The app will be installed.
    Note: If you encounter the error Oauth Fail! Can't find verify code in cache, Oauth verify code check fail, please re-authorize or This app can’t be upgraded: Platform Cache Partitions Missing feature, please contact Salesforce support.
