5.4 Generate your Zoom Event Subscription Code

In this step, you must configure the LeadSquared Event Webhook URL in your Zoom JWT app. This ensures Zoom posts data to LeadSquared for the event types you subscribe to. You can find this code under the Feature tab.

Event Subscription are the actions that are automated once an event has taken place. Examples of events are user creation or call recordings that have been completed*. The URL for these events get stored as an Activity on LeadSquared. To enable Event Subscription on Zoom –
