TL;DR

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:

1. set up Zoom as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. set up Google Sheets as a destination connector
3. define which data you want to transfer and how frequently

You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

This tutorial’s purpose is to show you how.

Prerequisites

1. A Zoom account to transfer your customer data automatically from.
2. A Google Sheets account.
3. An active Airbyte Cloud account, or you can also choose to use Airbyte Open Source locally. You can follow the instructions to set up Airbyte on your system using docker-compose.

Airbyte is an open-source data integration platform that consolidates and streamlines the process of extracting and loading data from multiple data sources to data warehouses. It offers pre-built connectors, including Zoom and Google Sheets, for seamless data migration.

When using Airbyte to move data from Zoom to Google Sheets, it extracts data from Zoom using the source connector, converts it into a format Google Sheets can ingest using the provided schema, and then loads it into Google Sheets via the destination connector. This allows businesses to leverage their Zoom data for advanced analytics and insights within Google Sheets, simplifying the ETL process and saving significant time and resources.

Methods to Move Data From Zoom to google sheets

• Method 1: Connecting Zoom to google sheets using Airbyte.
• Method 2: Connecting Zoom to google sheets manually.

Method 2: Connecting Zoom to google sheets manually

Moving data from Zoom to Google Sheets without using third-party connectors or integrations requires a manual process or writing custom scripts. The following step-by-step guide will outline how to do this using Zoom's API and Google Apps Script, assuming you want to automate the process. If you're looking for a one-time manual transfer, you can export data from Zoom as a CSV file and then import it into Google Sheets.

1. Set up a Zoom JWT App:

   - Go to the Zoom App Marketplace and sign in with your Zoom account.

   - Click on "Develop" and then "Build App."

   - Choose "JWT" as the app type and click "Create."

   - Fill in the necessary information to create your app.

   - On the "App Credentials" page, you'll find your API Key and API Secret. Note these down as you'll need them to authenticate API requests.

2. Enable Google Sheets API:

   - Go to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project or select an existing one.

   - Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Dashboard" and click on "ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES."

   - Search for "Google Sheets API" and enable it for your project.

3. Create a New Google Sheet:

   - Go to Google Drive and create a new Google Sheet where you'll import the Zoom data.

   - Note down the sheet ID from the URL (the long alphanumeric string in the URL between "/d/" and "/edit").

4. Write a Google Apps Script:

   - Open your Google Sheet, click on "Extensions" > "Apps Script."

   - Delete any code in the script editor and start writing your script.

   - Use the following template to get started:

```javascript

function getZoomData() {

  var apiKey = 'YOUR_ZOOM_API_KEY';

  var apiSecret = 'YOUR_ZOOM_API_SECRET';

  var zoomEndpoint = 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/YOUR_ENDPOINT'; // Replace with the specific Zoom API endpoint you need

  var options = {

    'method': 'get',

    'headers': {

      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + generateJWT(apiKey, apiSecret)

    }

  };

  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(zoomEndpoint, options);

  var data = JSON.parse(response.getContentText());

  // Process and structure your data as needed

  writeToSheet(data);

}

‍

function generateJWT(apiKey, apiSecret) {

  var header = {

    "alg": "HS256",

    "typ": "JWT"

  };

  var exp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600; // Token valid for 1 hour

  var payload = {

    "iss": apiKey,

    "exp": exp

  };

  var encodedHeader = Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(JSON.stringify(header));

  var encodedPayload = Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(JSON.stringify(payload));

  var signature = Utilities.computeHmacSignature(Utilities.MacAlgorithm.HMAC_SHA_256, encodedHeader + "." + encodedPayload, apiSecret);

  var encodedSignature = Utilities.base64EncodeWebSafe(signature);

  return encodedHeader + "." + encodedPayload + "." + encodedSignature;

}

‍

function writeToSheet(data) {

  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();

  // Assuming 'data' is an array of arrays representing rows and columns

  data.forEach(function(row, index) {

    sheet.getRange(index + 1, 1, 1, row.length).setValues([row]);

  });

}

```

5. Run Your Script:

   - After writing and saving your script, click on the play button (triangle icon) to run the `getZoomData` function.

   - If prompted, authorize the script to access your Google Sheets data.

6. Schedule Data Retrieval (Optional):

   - If you want to automatically retrieve data at regular intervals, click on the clock icon in the script editor to add a trigger.

   - Set up the trigger to run the `getZoomData` function at your desired frequency.

By following these steps, you'll be able to write a custom script that fetches data from Zoom using the API and writes it to a Google Sheet. Please note that this is a simplified example and you may need to adjust the `getZoomData` and `writeToSheet` functions to handle the specific structure of the data you're retrieving from Zoom.

Use Cases to transfer your Zoom data to Google Sheets

Integrating data from Zoom to Google Sheets provides several benefits. Here are a few use cases:

1. Advanced Analytics: Google Sheets’s powerful data processing capabilities enable you to perform complex queries and data analysis on your Zoom data, extracting insights that wouldn't be possible within Zoom alone.
2. Data Consolidation: If you're using multiple other sources along with Zoom, syncing to Google Sheets allows you to centralize your data for a holistic view of your operations, and to set up a change data capture process so you never have any discrepancies in your data again.
3. Historical Data Analysis: Zoom has limits on historical data. Syncing data to Google Sheets allows for long-term data retention and analysis of historical trends over time.
4. Data Security and Compliance: Google Sheets provides robust data security features. Syncing Zoom data to Google Sheets ensures your data is secured and allows for advanced data governance and compliance management.
5. Scalability: Google Sheets can handle large volumes of data without affecting performance, providing an ideal solution for growing businesses with expanding Zoom data.
6. Data Science and Machine Learning: By having Zoom data in Google Sheets, you can apply machine learning models to your data for predictive analytics, customer segmentation, and more.
7. Reporting and Visualization: While Zoom provides reporting tools, data visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI, Looker (Google Data Studio) can connect to Google Sheets, providing more advanced business intelligence options. If you have a Zoom table that needs to be converted to a Google Sheets table, Airbyte can do that automatically.

Wrapping Up

To summarize, this tutorial has shown you how to:

1. Configure a Zoom account as an Airbyte data source connector.
2. Configure Google Sheets as a data destination connector.
3. Create an Airbyte data pipeline that will automatically be moving data directly from Zoom to Google Sheets after you set a schedule

With Airbyte, creating data pipelines take minutes, and the data integration possibilities are endless. Airbyte supports the largest catalog of API tools, databases, and files, among other sources. Airbyte's connectors are open-source, so you can add any custom objects to the connector, or even build a new connector from scratch without any local dev environment or any data engineer within 10 minutes with the no-code connector builder.
