AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a technical reference for integrating Zoom webhooks into applications. It covers the essential steps for setting up event subscriptions, verifying incoming webhook signatures using HMAC, and handling event payloads. The documentation includes code examples for signature verification, a list of common event types, and links to community-maintained repositories for various programming languages.
What it does
- Provides code patterns for verifying Zoom webhook signatures using HMAC-SHA256.
- Lists common Zoom event types for meetings, recordings, users, and webinars.
- Outlines prerequisites for receiving webhooks, including HTTPS endpoints and secret tokens.
- Offers guidance on environment variable management for webhook secrets.
- Links to official and community-contributed sample implementations across multiple languages.
When to use it
- When setting up a new webhook listener for Zoom events.
- When implementing signature verification to secure your webhook endpoint.
- When troubleshooting issues with event delivery or payload parsing.
- When looking for language-specific examples of Zoom webhook handlers.
Advantages
- Centralizes essential configuration and security patterns for Zoom webhooks.
- Provides a clear, reusable code pattern for signature verification.
- Includes a comprehensive reference for event types and payload structures.
- Connects developers to a variety of community-tested implementation samples.
Usage examples
- “How do I verify a Zoom webhook signature in Node.js?”
- The skill provides an Express.js code snippet demonstrating how to capture the raw request body and use crypto.createHmac to validate the x-zm-signature header.
- “What events are available for Zoom recordings?”
- The skill lists recording-related events such as recording.started, recording.completed, and recording.trashed.

Documentation by Zoom
/setup-zoom-webhooks
Background reference for Zoom event delivery over HTTP. Prefer workflow skills first, then use this file for verification, subscription, and delivery details.
Prerequisites
Zoom app with Event Subscriptions enabled
HTTPS endpoint to receive webhooks
Webhook secret token for verification
Need help with authentication? See the zoom-oauth skill for OAuth setup.
Quick Start
// Express.js webhook handler
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Capture raw body for signature verification (avoid re-serializing JSON).
app.use(require('express').json({
verify: (req, _res, buf) => { req.rawBody = buf; }
}));
app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
// Verify webhook signature
const signature = req.headers['x-zm-signature'];
const timestamp = req.headers['x-zm-request-timestamp'];
const body = req.rawBody ? req.rawBody.toString('utf8') : JSON.stringify(req.body);
const payload = `v0:${timestamp}:${body}`;
const hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', WEBHOOK_SECRET)
.update(payload).digest('hex');
if (signature !== `v0=${hash}`) {
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
// Handle event
const { event, payload } = req.body;
console.log(`Received: ${event}`);
res.status(200).send();
});Common Events
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
meeting.started | Meeting has started |
meeting.ended | Meeting has ended |
meeting.participant_joined | Participant joined meeting |
recording.completed | Cloud recording ready |
user.created | New user added |
