Connect Zoom to Tidy to schedule face-to-face calls directly from Tidy

Updated over 3 months ago

With the Zoom integration, you can add video conference links to scheduled meetings in TidyHQ.

Integration requirements

Please note: it is not recommended to connect your Zoom account to multiple TidyHQ accounts if there is sensitive or private information that shouldn't be accessible to all connected portals. 

Install the Zoom integration

  • In your Tidy account, click the App menu item in the main navigation bar.

  • Search for the Zoom integration, click on it, Add it to your account, then Settings to Authenticate.

  • In the dialogue box, click Connect to Zoom.

  • Enter your Zoom login credentials, then click Sign in.

  • You'll be prompted to grant permission for Zoom for TidyHQ to access your Zoom account. Click Allow.

  • You'll be redirected back to the TidyHQ, where you'll see Zoom appear under Connected Apps. Click Zoom to review your integration permissions, configure new contact exclusions, or link a Zoom user account.

Add a Zoom link to your meetings

You can add a Zoom video conference link to your meetings links to automatically create a Zoom meeting when starting a Tidy Meeting. 

  • In your Tidy account, navigate to Meetings.

  • Create a New Meeting and Add your meeting details. 

  • In the Configuration section, click the Add video conference link dropdown menu and select Zoom. 

  • Click Save. 

When you invite your attendees a link to the video conference will be automatically added to the email and calendar invite.

You can now start your meeting, with Zoom. Share your screen via Zoom while running the meeting to keep everyone on the same page while writing the meeting minutes. 

Please note: If you are using a free Zoom account, your meetings will cut off after 40 minutes. You can request for people to log back in after a short break using the same link for a further 40 mins, and you can do this as often as you require. If you have a paid Zoom account there is no time limit imposed.

Zoom Account Settings

When you install the Zoom app in TidyHQ and add the video conference link to your meeting, this connects TidyHQ with your Personal Room in Zoom, using the same Zoom meeting link each time (i.e. it uses your Zoom account's "Personal Meeting ID").

  1. In Zoom go to Profile and ensure Personal Meeting ID has a green tick against "Use this ID for instant meetings". (If this is not ticked, you will need to click "Edit" on the far right to modify that setting, so the Zoom link in your TidyHQ Meeting will work.)

2. In Zoom go to Meetings > Personal Room and Edit to configure other settings as desired (e.g. Waiting Room, Video on or off, mute participants on entry, etc)

NOTE: Meetings scheduled in TidyHQ using the Zoom app will be listed in TidyHQ under upcoming or past meetings. They will not appear under scheduled meetings in your Zoom account.


To uninstall Zoom

  1. Navigate to the Tools and Apps section and search for Zoom

  2. Open the Zoom App

  3. Click the Remove App option

You can also deauthorise Tidy from Zoom.

  1. Login to your Zoom account and navigate to the Zoom App Marketplace

  2. Click Manage > Installed Apps and search for TidyHQ

  3. Click the TidyHQ app

  4. Click Uninstall

Troubleshooting Zoom

If, when trying to set up Zoom Conferencing in your meeting, you receive an error message: "there is an error generating conferencing URL, please contact TidyHQ Support" you should first do the following:

  1. Disconnect Zoom via TidyHQ Zoom App settings

  2. Remove Zoom app from the account

  3. Re-install Zoom App via TidyHQ Zoom App page
