/setup-zoom-webhooks

Background reference for Zoom event delivery over HTTP. Prefer workflow skills first, then use this file for verification, subscription, and delivery details.

Prerequisites

Zoom app with Event Subscriptions enabled
HTTPS endpoint to receive webhooks
Webhook secret token for verification

> Need help with authentication? See the zoom-oauth skill for OAuth setup.

Quick Start

// Express.js webhook handler
const crypto = require('crypto');

// Capture raw body for signature verification (avoid re-serializing JSON).
app.use(require('express').json({
  verify: (req, _res, buf) => { req.rawBody = buf; }
}));

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  // Verify webhook signature
  const signature = req.headers['x-zm-signature'];
  const timestamp = req.headers['x-zm-request-timestamp'];
  const body = req.rawBody ? req.rawBody.toString('utf8') : JSON.stringify(req.body);
  const payload = `v0:${timestamp}:${body}`;
  const hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    .update(payload).digest('hex');
  
  if (signature !== `v0=${hash}`) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
  }

  // Handle event
  const { event, payload } = req.body;
  console.log(`Received: ${event}`);
  
  res.status(200).send();
});
