🏆 Zoom Meeting Module for Worksuite – Secure, Real-Time Video Conferencing Integration (GPL)

Zoom Meeting Module for Worksuite is an add-on that connects your Worksuite Project Management / CRM installation with Zoom to enable fast, in-app video meetings, client sessions, remote team calls, and internal standups — without leaving your management dashboard. This description is prepared for GPL educational & redistribution purposes and targets agencies, freelancers, and SaaS resellers who need a documented, transparent module description for their GPL resource sites.

🚀 Overview

This module was built to solve a very real problem teams face today: switching between multiple tools just to schedule or join a Zoom call. By integrating Zoom directly into Worksuite, admins, project managers, HR teams, and support teams can:

• Create Zoom meetings from within Worksuite (projects, tasks, or clients).
• Auto-generate join URLs for staff and customers.
• Log, track, and reference meetings inside your project history.
• Standardize online meetings for remote and hybrid teams.

Target users: software agencies, remote-first teams, coaching/consulting businesses, customer success teams, and IT departments running Worksuite who want a professional, auditable, and centralised meeting workflow.

Experience (E): the module reflects how modern agencies actually work — Zoom is the de-facto tool, and Worksuite is the hub; combining both improves adoption and reduces meeting friction.

✨ Key Features

• 🔐 Zoom OAuth / API integration: connect to your Zoom account using API credentials provided in the admin panel.
• 📅 Schedule meetings from Worksuite: create meetings with title, date/time, duration, and optional agenda.
• 👥 Assign participants: link meetings to projects, clients, or internal users so invitees see the call details.
• 🔗 Auto-generated join links: create and display Zoom join URLs right inside Worksuite records.
• ⏱ Time zone aware: meeting times use the system/user timezone to reduce missed calls.
• 🗂 Meeting listing & history: view upcoming and past Zoom meetings in a structured, filterable list.
• 📧 Optional notifications: send call details to assigned users/customers (depending on core Worksuite mail settings).
• 🛡 Role-based access: only authorized staff can create or manage Zoom meetings.
• 🧩 Native add-on style: follows Worksuite’s module pattern so it feels like part of the core system.
• 📝 Clean codebase: suitable for GPL study, extension, and customization.

⚙️ Technical Stack

Core frameworks & technologies:

• Backend: PHP (compatible with Worksuite’s Laravel-based architecture)
• Frontend: Blade / Worksuite UI components (depending on Worksuite version)
• API: Zoom REST API (JWT / OAuth depending on original release)
• Database: MySQL / MariaDB (same as Worksuite)

Server requirements (typical):

• PHP version supported by your current Worksuite installation (usually PHP 8.x or late 7.x)
• cURL enabled for external API requests
• OpenSSL enabled
• Valid Zoom API keys (from your Zoom App Marketplace account)

Expertise (E): this module demonstrates real-world integration of a third-party SaaS (Zoom) into a Laravel/Worksuite environment, using secure API communication and role-based control.

🧩 Installation Guide

1. 1. Download the module package — get the Zoom Meeting Module for Worksuite ZIP from your GPL repository.
2. 2. Backup your application — always back up code and database before installing any add-on.
3. 3. Upload module files — place the module folder in the /Modules or the Worksuite-supported modules directory, following the structure of your Worksuite version.
4. 4. Run migrations (if required) — from your panel or CLI, run the module/DB update to create Zoom-related tables.
5. 5. Configure Zoom API — in the Worksuite admin area, go to Settings → Zoom Integration (name may vary) and enter your API Key and API Secret from Zoom.
6. 6. Test a meeting — create a test Zoom meeting linked to a project or client to verify connectivity.

Tip: if your Worksuite version is customized, compare the routes, providers, and module.json before deploying to production.
