Adding the Zoom URL to Approved Email Templates as
Content Creators
Content creators can include the Zoom URL in the invitation sent to attendees by adding the {{insertEngageAndZoomJoinURL[Language Code]}} token to the appropriate Approved Email templates.
Click tracking is not supported for Approved Emails containing the {{insertEngageAndZoomJoinURL[Language Code]}} token.
If the template also contains the {{addToCalendar}} token, the text generated by {{insertEngageAndZoomJoinURL[Language Code]}} will be included in the description of the ICS file.
See Allowing Attendees to Join an Engage Meeting via Zoom for more information.
Speakers cannot join a virtual event via Zoom. The entirety of the {{insertEngageAndZoomJoinURL[Language Code]}} token, including the Meeting ID and password, does not render for speakers. However, this information is still included in the generated ICS file if the {{addToCalendar}} token is also used.
Using the Zoom URL in a Virtual Event as
End Users
End users can copy and communicate the Zoom URL for their virtual event by viewing the Zoom URL field on the corresponding em_event__v record or sending the link to attendees via an Approved Email invitation.
