3Usage — Connecting Zoom to Another Platform

What SyncRivo Does

  • Bidirectional message relay (Zoom ↔ destination)
  • Attachment relay (where supported by the destination provider)
  • Welcome / confirmation messages when a connection becomes active

Step-by-Step: Create a Connection

  1. 1In Zoom Team Chat, type "configure" to get Zoom IDs (from step 2).
  2. 2Log in to SyncRivo at syncrivo.ai.
  3. 3Go to Dashboard → Connections → Create Connection.
  4. 4Set Source Provider = Zoom, then paste the Zoom IDs.
  5. 5Choose your Destination Provider (Slack / Google Chat / Webex).
  6. 6In the destination app/channel/space, type "configure" to get destination IDs.
  7. 7Paste the destination IDs into the SyncRivo connection form.
  8. 8Click Connect Application.

After creating a connection, it may take a short time for SyncRivo to activate the bridge and post the welcome/confirmation message in both connected channels.

Verify the Bridge

  1. 1Send a test message in Zoom — it should appear in the destination.
  2. 2Send a test message in the destination — it should appear in Zoom.
  3. 3Test an attachment (if supported by that provider).

5Removing the App

User-Level Removal

  1. 1Sign in to the Zoom App Marketplace.
  2. 2Click Manage (top-right).
  3. 3Go to Added Apps.
  4. 4Find SyncRivo and click Remove.
  5. 5Confirm removal.

Admin / Account-Level Removal

If your Zoom admin installed SyncRivo for the account, an admin can remove or disable it from Admin App Management.

Implications of removal:
  • SyncRivo will lose authorization to access Zoom on your behalf.
  • Message relay for any Zoom-connected channels will stop immediately.
  • Existing connections that rely on Zoom will become inactive until re-authorized.

How Your Data Is Handled

  • SyncRivo stops processing new Zoom messages for your workspace/channel.
  • SyncRivo removes/invalidates stored Zoom authorization tokens.
  • Connection records referencing Zoom may remain (marked inactive) so you can reconnect later.

To request deletion of any remaining SyncRivo-side data, contact support.

Troubleshooting

I can't add/install SyncRivo

Your Zoom account may require admin approval for marketplace apps. Ask your Zoom admin to approve/add SyncRivo.

The bot doesn't respond in Team Chat

Confirm SyncRivo is added to the correct Zoom Team Chat channel. Try "help" then "configure". Confirm the app is still authorized under Marketplace → Manage → Added Apps.

Messages aren't relaying

Confirm the SyncRivo connection is created in the portal and shows Active. Ensure you copied the correct Zoom IDs and Destination IDs into the connection form. Recreate the connection if IDs were pasted incorrectly.

FAQ

Q: What permissions does SyncRivo request?

A: Permissions are displayed by Zoom during installation. SyncRivo requires only what's needed to connect and relay messages per your configured connections.

Q: Does removing the app delete my SyncRivo account?

A: No. Removing SyncRivo from Zoom only revokes Zoom authorization. Your SyncRivo account remains until you delete it or request deletion.

Common Questions

Install SyncRivo from the Zoom App Marketplace. Then in the SyncRivo dashboard, create a new connection, select Zoom as the source platform and Slack or Teams as the destination. Paste the Zoom IDs returned by the /configure bot command. Messages bridge bidirectionally within 100ms.

Yes. SyncRivo integrates with Zoom Team Chat — Zoom's persistent messaging product — not the video call interface. It bridges Zoom Team Chat channels and direct messages to other platforms like Slack, Teams, Google Chat, and Webex.

No. Users on Slack see messages from Zoom participants natively in their Slack channel. SyncRivo handles identity mapping — the Zoom sender's name appears in Slack. No cross-platform accounts or guest access are required on either side.

SyncRivo relays bidirectional text messages, attachment notifications (file name and link), and welcome/confirmation messages when a connection activates. Platform-native features like Zoom polls and Zoom Clips are not relayed — only the core chat message payload.

Yes. Each channel mapping is an independent connection in SyncRivo. You can bridge Zoom channel A → Slack #engineering, Zoom channel B → Teams General, and Zoom channel C → Google Chat space — all active simultaneously from one SyncRivo account.
