Integrating Zoom Virtual Agent with Third-Party Telephony Systems through SIP Voice Gateway
The Zoom Virtual Agent (ZVA) SIP Voice Gateway allows organizations to integrate Zoom’s AI-powered Virtual Agent platform with third-party Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) or Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) environments. Acting as a voice-first conversational AI overlay, the SIP Voice Gateway enables customers to route voice traffic from their existing Session Border Controllers (SBCs) directly to ZVA using standard SIP trunking.
ZVA acts as an intelligent agent resolving queries including workflows and RAG based search. In case the user needs additional help the calls will be transferred to the customer's Contact Center or telephony system.
Note: If you require assistance at any point during this setup or have questions about your specific environment,
contact Zoom Support.

How ZVA SIP Voice Gateway works
The ZVA SIP Voice Gateway connects your contact center or UC platform to Zoom’s AI engine using SIP. This integration allows inbound voice calls to be handled by AI‑driven voice agents capable of understanding caller intent, providing automated responses, and transferring calls to human agents when necessary.
Integration architecture
Key components
| Component | Description |
|---|

|
SIP Trunk
|
Secure SIP connection between your platform and ZVA.
|
|
ZVA Voice Gateway
|
Zoom’s SIP endpoint for receiving inbound calls and routing them to the AI engine.
|
|
Virtual Agent Engine

How to configure third-party connection
Set up your CCaaS/UCaaS platform to send inbound SIP calls to the Zoom Virtual Agent. Follow the respective vendor documentation for detailed integration steps.
Important: It is the responsibility of the customer or integration partner to procure, provision, and manage the third-party SIP Trunk required for connectivity to the ZVA SIP Voice Gateway
How to configure Zoom Virtual Agent voice agent
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- In the navigation menu, click AI Studio then Virtual Agents.
- Create a Voice agent.
- Under Channels, click Add agent to channel then Add to [Vendor].
- Copy the Virtual Number and API Key for use in your vendor system.
- Click Save.
Note: For currently supported CCaaS systems (Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect), no additional configuration is required on the Zoom Voice Gateway SBC.
How to transfer calls from ZVA to external systems
When escalation to a live agent is required, ZVA performs a SIP‑based transfer using one of the following methods:
- SIP REFER
- SIP INVITE (Re‑INVITE)
Note: The supported transfer method depends on the SIP headers implemented by your CCaaS/UCaaS vendor. Refer to vendor documentation for details.
