Activating the meeting creation​

To enable the creation of Zoom meetings after a reservation has taken place, you'll need to activate the service-specific setting within the plugin. This setting allows you to customize the behavior for each service, ensuring that a Zoom meeting is automatically created and associated with the respective reservation.

To activate the service-specific Zoom meeting creation setting, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate the Services section and locate the desired service.

  2. Open the service settings panel.

  3. Enable Create a Zoom meeting under the General tab.

    Create Zoom meeting

Once you have activated this setting, the plugin will automatically generate a unique Zoom meeting link for each reservation made for the specific service. This link will be provided to the customer, allowing them to join the virtual meeting at the scheduled time.
