Agentic workflows let you automate repetitive tasks using simple, everyday language, using a flexible, node-based visual canvas. You can use agentic AI workflows from templates or a low-code builder to automate multi‑step actions across Meetings, Chat, Docs, and Tasks. In addition to Zoom sources and data, you can connect to third-party applications, allowing you to retrieve data from and output to other third-party tools such as Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce.
When you click Workflows in the sidebar, Workflows will automatically open, where you can describe a workflow in natural language. You can also access the following workflow-related options, which are displayed under Workflow in the sidebar.
Agentic workflows for ZoomMate are available to paid ZoomMate and Custom AI Companion users in the US. Free users can also access a limited version of this feature, with up to 10 runs per month.
Both test runs when building and runs after publishing workflows count towards monthly usage. Paid ZoomMate and Custom AI Companion users will initially have unlimited runs for a limited time.
Requirements for using agentic workflows with ZoomMate
Some features are available with a Zoom Workplace Pro, Zoom Workplace Pro Plus, Zoom Workplace Business, Zoom Workplace Business Plus, Zoom Workplace Enterprise, Zoom Workplace Enterprise Plus, or Enterprise Bundle account
Supported browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox (latest versions)
Use of the AI-powered, Third-party connectors, Send SMS message, Send Voice message and Web crawler nodes requires a ZoomMate license and consumes Zoom AI credits.
In detail, describe the task or process you want to automate using the workflow. If it requires multiple steps, describe each step in the desired sequence for the workflow you want to create.
Click the Send icon. ZoomMate will begin designing the workflow, as well as ask clarification questions for configuring nodes within the workflow. Once it has all the necessary info, ZoomMate will begin building the workflow.
(Optional) Once the workflow is complete, use the ZoomMate side panel text box to describe adjustments you want to make to the workflow or manually update the workflow.
Once satisfied with the initial design of the workflow, at the bottom of the window, click Run to test the workflow.
Continue to make any additional changes to the workflow.
Click Deploy to save changes to the flow and set it to Active.
Under Workflow, click + Create. The workflow builder and the ZoomMate side panel will open.
Below the description chatbox, click Start with a node, then click Triggers.
In the node trigger list, select a trigger:
Manually start: Starts the workflow when you press a button.
Fill out a form: Starts the workflow when users submit a form with required fields.
Meeting event: Starts the workflow when specific Zoom Meeting events occur, such as when a meeting starts or ends.
Team chat event: Starts the workflow when a Zoom Chat event occurs, such as when a message is received or a specific emoji is used.
From webhook: Starts the workflow automatically based on external events or system updates, such as a new form submission, a CRM status change, or an alert from another app, so processes stay connected and responsive across all your tools.
When link is clicked: Starts the workflow when someone clicks on a link.
Custom schedule: Starts the workflow at a scheduled date and time.
RSS feed: Starts the workflow when an RSS feed item is published. Note: When you hover over a trigger option, a coach or help tooltip appears to explain when to use that trigger.
Click a trigger to add it to the canvas and expand its configuration panel.
Configure the trigger details. For example, for a Meeting event trigger, configure:
Meeting event type: When the meeting ends.
Which meetings to monitor: All my meetings.
Time offsets: 0 min to trigger exactly when the event happens, or a negative or positive offset to trigger before or after the event.
Add additional nodes and actions as needed, such as sending a summary to Slack, saving a document to Zoom Canvas, or posting a message to a chat channel. Note: If a node outputs a variable, that variable can be dragged or dropped within another action node.
(Optional) At any step, use the ZoomMate side panel text box to describe adjustments you want to make to the workflow, and let ZoomMate update triggers, actions, or parameters for you.
Once satisfied with the initial design of the workflow, at the bottom of the window, click Run to test the workflow.

How to use the action approval feature within workflows
In workflows, action nodes that perform sensitive write operations (e.g., updating a Salesforce Opportunity or creating a Jira ticket) allow users to review, edit, and approve changes before they are executed. When triggered, a pending action appears within ZoomMate for user review.
Users can configure the AI Reasoning node's tool sets to either always ask for approval (the default) or always allow the tool sets' actions without confirmation. For action nodes (e.g., Leavechannel node), users can select whether the node allows the action without approval or always prompts for confirmation before proceeding.
Add or edit an action node that utilizes the Action Approval field.
Under Action Approval, select an option:
Always ask for confirmation: The workflow can not complete the action until the user has approved the action within the ZoomMate panel.
Always allow this action without prompting: The workflow will automatically complete it without requiring additional user approval. Note: This is the default for action nodes that can require approval. However, if the admin has enabled Allow users to disable confirmation for sensitive actions, you will not be able to select this option.
Save the workflow.
Configure approval flows for the AI Reasoning node
Create or open a workflow.
Add or edit the AI Reasoning node.
Under Tool sets, next to the desired tool set (Zoom Tasks, Zoom Chat, etc.), click the Settings icon [Gear icon].
Next to the desired action, select an option:
Always ask: Users will need to approve the action within ZoomMate before the workflow can continue. Note: This is the default for all actions associated with a tool set.
Always allow: The action will be performed without additional approval. Note: If the admin has enabled Allow users to disable confirmation for sensitive actions, you will not be able to select this option.
If an action is configured to Always ask for confirmation or Always ask, the action node will require approval before continuing the workflow. To approve the action:
Launch Workflows. Under Pending actions, workflows that require approval before continuing will be listed.
Click the workflow and review the output.
(Optional) Click Cancel to cancel the action and terminate the workflow.
(Optional) If you do not want to manually approve the specific action within the workflow in the future, change the action's approval setting to Always allow. Note: If the admin has enabled Allow users to disable confirmation for sensitive actions, you will not be able to modify this.
Click Approve & continue to continue the workflow with the approved output.
Under the Status column, click the toggle for the desired workflow to either Active (enabled) or Inactive (disabled). Note: Workflows with manual triggers can not be disabled.
Use the available filters to find the workflow you want to review or update:
Search by workflow name
Filter by date range.
Filter by flow trigger type
Click a workflow name to open it.
In the top right corner, click the more icon and click Share. Note: A Workflow must be deployed before it can be shared.
Enter the desired contact or channel you want to share the workflow with.
Click Send. The workflow will be shared with the desired users, allowing them to view the workflow. Note: Users will not be able to edit the workflow and must save a copy of the workflow to use and/or modify it.
Under Workflow, click Activity logs. A list of workflow execution records displays.
Use the available filters to narrow down activity:
Search by workflow name.
Filter by status, such as completed, failed, running, paused, timed out, or terminated.
Filter by date range.
Review the columns for each workflow run, such as Name, Last run, Status, and Actions.
(Optional) Click a specific run or the actions associated with it to view details, troubleshoot failures, or re-run the workflow if supported.

Additional notes for using webhooks
If using the From webhook trigger:
The variables that need to be defined (e.g., incident_id, summary, priority) need to match what is expected from the third-party service that triggers the workflow via webhook. Note: These variables are available for use in later workflow steps.
The workflow must be saved first to obtain the webhook URL (Your webhook URL) to be used within the third-party app or service.
When testing the workflow, users will be prompted to manually send a sample payload to trigger the workflow. The sample payload can usually be found in the third-party service's webhook support documentation or in tools like Postman to capture live traffic.

Third-party nodes
Third-party nodes enable you to integrate external applications and services into your Zoom workflows, whether by connecting to CRM systems like Salesforce, project management tools like Jira, communication platforms like Slack, or productivity suites like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Access to all these third-party connectors would require ZoomMate license, except Send Emailin Gmail and Outlook which is available unlimited to all paid users (including ZWP paid users).
Third-party Integration
Description
Salesforce
Connect CRM data to automate sales and customer workflows.
Integrate Microsoft 365 email and calendar workflows.
Best practices for building workflows
Start without any integrations, leveraging data within the Zoom ecosystem.
After completing your first successful workflow, move on to one integration and expand gradually.
Use AI Nodes to interpret unstructured data before passing it to third‑party systems.
Always include a notification or documentation node for visibility.
How to troubleshoot workflows
Authentication and connection issues with workflows
Authorization issues with third-party integrations
If you are experiencing issues with authorization problems with third-party integrations:
If workflows keep asking for authorization but never complete, try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration in workflow settings.
Salesforce connector visibility issues may occur due to changes in data source configuration.
Trigger and execution issues
Team chat event not triggering workflow
If you are experiencing issues with workflows that use the Team chat event trigger not triggering correctly, check whether the workflow was shared with you using chat nodes. If the workflow owner still has appropriate channel permissions, as workflows can deactivate if the owner loses access or leaves a channel.
From Webhook not triggering workflow
If you are experiencing issues with workflows that use the From webhook trigger not triggering correctly, confirm the following:
Confirm that the external system is sending a POST request (not GET).
Confirm the payload format matches the workflow's expectations.
Confirm the workflow is published and active.
In addition to the above, you can also view the logs for the workflow to verify the request being sent via the webhook.
Form and condition node issues
Form variable issues
If you are experiencing issues with form variables:
Variables from forms within switch case branches may not be accessible outside that branch.
For user selection fields showing duplicate names, email addresses are not currently displayed (known design defect.
Condition node issues
If you are experiencing issues with condition nodes:
If the condition nodes return "evaluationResult: null" and terminate, try adjusting the prompt for the LLM evaluation.
Certain topology configurations may be unsupported; disconnect and reconnect lines if needed.
Ensure the default branch is properly configured.
Data and variable-related issues
Errors related to illegal characters in field names
If encountering issues related to field names, remove special characters like periods (.) from field names (e.g., change "jira.link" to "jiralink").
Missing or incorrect data issues
If encountering missing or incorrect data issues:
For meeting data that isn't loading properly (content appears incomplete), verify the document size isn't exceeding the 20,000,000-character limit.
Check that variables are properly passed between nodes, and use the variable selector to ensure correct references.
If data appears truncated or missing, confirm the workflow has proper permissions to access the source content.
For empty or null values, verify the trigger fired correctly and captured the expected data - check Activity Logs.
If the extracted data doesn't match expectations, review the Extract Data node configuration and ensure the prompt clearly specifies what information to capture.
For inconsistent data across workflow runs, check if the source content format has changed or if the conditional logic needs adjustment.
Other node-specific issues
Send chat message based on node failures
If you are having issues with workflows utilizing the Reply to a message, Send a message to a channel, Send a direct message, or Send a message to the meeting nodes, check the following:
If mention tags appear as plain text instead of the usual formatted mentions, the node will fail.
"Bad Request" errors (400) may indicate channel permission issues or incorrect message formatting.
AI node failing
If the LLM node is failing/timing out, check that referenced documents aren't too large (the maximum character limit is 20,000,000).
Get a doc node failing
If the Get a doc node is failing, check the following:
If getting "UNKNOWN_ERROR" or data retrieval issues, verify the document size isn't exceeding limits.
Ensure you have proper access permissions to the document.
Google Sheets nodes failing
If you are receiving errors when using Google Sheets nodes, check the following:
For "Unable to parse range" errors (e.g., "Sheet1!C18:C31"), verify the sheet range format is correct
Check that the spreadsheet is properly authorized and accessible.
Jira nodes failing
If you are receiving errors when using Jira nodes, check the following:
For "No operation with name 'set' found" errors, check the field mapping configuration.
Some Jira fields may not support variable inputs. If a Jira field uses variable inputs, remove the input and test whether the workflow still fails.
