Blink Zoom Bot

Using the Self-service portal via Zoom​

We have created the bot for Zoom to seamlessly execute apps available in the Self-service portal directly from your Zoom environment. Every Workflow that is exposed in the portal is automatically exposed to the bot for Zoom.

To execute Workflows from Zoom, a connection between your Zoom workspace and your Blink account must be created.

  1. On the bottom left-side of your screen, navigate to Account Settings > General > Connect to Zoom. A dialog window opens; Blink is requesting permission to access the Blink Ops Zoom workspace.

  2. Click Allow. Connected to Zoom is displayed in your account setting. (Optional) A Reconnect button enables you to reconnect if you have already made this connection, but are experiencing issues.

Executing an Workflow via Zoom​

  1. In any channel or conversation, enter /. Select Portal from the drop down menu.

  2. If you are not logged in to the Blink platform, you will receive a message to Go to login page. Click Go to login page and log in to Blink. If you logged in successfully, Thanks for logging in will appear on your Zoom feed.

  3. Enter /portal and click Self service portal request. A list of all items available in the Self-service portal is displayed.

  4. Click on any item in the portal. You will receive a message that the Workflow is running. If the Workflow needs input parameters, you will be prompted to enter them before running.
    The Blink bot will notify you of your request, the Workflow state and its results.
