Integrating 3CX webmeetings into Zulip

[ChristopheL]

Hi all,

I'd like to integrate 3CX to our internal messaging system (Zulip) and before I embark on reading on the API and start the coding, I'd like to know if it's possible at all.

The way I'm picturing it working is as following:

• I'm having a text conversation with say 3 colleagues on Zulip and I decide to have a web meeting.
• I click on a button in the Zulip client that launches a 3CX webmeeting with my default browser, for me to start.
• I start the 3CX webmeeting.
• A zulip bot sends a message to my 3 colleagues 'ChrisL started a web meeting' with the link to the 3CX meeting.
• when I close the 3CX meeting, the zulip bot sends a message 'ChrisL ended the meeting'.

I'll program the Zulip bot. In order for this to work:

• the Zulip plugin needs to know what link to use when a user requests the creation the 3CX meeting
• (all zulip users are in the same company and all have a 3CX 'account')
• the Zulip bot needs to be notified when the 3CX webmeeting has started and to know what link to use for people to join.
• the Zulip bot needs to be notified when the meeting has been terminated.

Do you think it's possible? Do I need to use the API or something else?

Thank you,
Chris

Hi Chris,

We do not offer an API for controlling the webmeeting. It is all done via the 3CX Webclient GUI.

Thank you for replying. It looks like my idea was a non-starter, good thing I asked before rushing in!
