What an iTeam agent does with the Zoom API
Minutes and tasks after the call
When the recording is ready, the agent uses the transcript to write the minutes, log them in the CRM and create the agreed tasks.
Scheduling from chat
The customer asks for a meeting on WhatsApp, and the agent creates the Zoom link at a free time on the salesperson's calendar.
Webinar follow-up
After the webinar, the agent separates who attended from who missed it and sends the right message to each group.
License usage
The agent lists users with no activity for months so IT can decide about licenses.

Questions about the Zoom API
Is the Zoom API free?
Creating apps and using the API has no separate charge, but the features you access, such as cloud recording and webinars, depend on your Zoom plan.
Do I need to code to use the Zoom API with iTeam?
Not necessarily. iTeam reads the documentation, and the deployment team sets up the app and the events with you.
Does the agent join meetings?
Not in this use. It works with scheduling, recordings and transcripts after the meeting.
